More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Image
She dares me to pour myself out like a living waterfall. She dares me to enter the soul that is more than my own she extinguishes fear in mere seconds. She lets light come through.
Virginia Woolf
Image
We must reconcile ourselves to a season of failures and fragments.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Venerable are letters, infinitely brave, forlorn, and lost.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There is a sadness at the back of life which some people do not attempt to mitigate. Entirely aware of their own standing in the shadow, and yet alive to every tremor and gleam of existence, there they endure.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I got out this diary, & read as one always does read one's own writing, with a kind of guilty intensity.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The mind which is most capable of receiving impressions is very often the least capable of drawing conclusions.
Virginia Woolf
Image
No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I want to think quietly, calmly, spaciously, never to be interrupted, never to have to rise from my chair, to slip easily from one thing to another, without any sense of hostility, or obstacle. I want to sink deeper and deeper, away from the surface, with its hard separate facts.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Whatever may be their use in civilized societies, mirrors are essential to all violent and heroic action.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It was a miserable machine, an inefficient machine, she thought, the human apparatus for painting or for feeling it always broke down at the critical moment heroically, one must force it on.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Intimacy is a difficult art.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Until we can comprehend the beguiling beauty of a single flower, we are woefully unable to grasp the meaning and potential of life itself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But nothing is so strange when one is in love (and what was this except being in love?) as the complete indifference of other people.
Virginia Woolf
Image
To depend upon a profession is a less odious form of slavery than to depend upon a father.
Virginia Woolf
Image
What a comfort is friendship in this world.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Lies will flow from my lips, but there may perhaps be some truth mixed up with them.
Virginia Woolf
Image
She had read a wonderful play about a man who scratched on the wall of his cell and she had felt that was true of life — one scratched on the wall.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Money dignifies what is frivolous if unpaid for.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I'm fundamentally, I think, an outsider. I do my best work and feel most braced with my back to the wall. It's an odd feeling though, writing aginst the current: difficult entirely to disregard the current. Yet of course I shall.
Virginia Woolf
Image
You would get longer livelier and more frequent letters from me, if it weren't for the Christian religion. How that bell tolling at the end of the garden, dum dum, dum dum, annoys me! Why is Christianity so insistent and so sad?
