More quotes by Virginia Woolf
The telephone, which interrupts the most serious conversations and cuts short the most weighty observations, has a romance of its own.
Virginia Woolf
Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame.
Virginia Woolf
I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.
Virginia Woolf
So coming back from a journey, or after an illness, before habits had spun themselves across the surface, one felt that same unreality, which was so startling felt something emerge. Life was most vivid then.
Virginia Woolf
After all, what is a lovely phrase? One that has mopped up as much Truth as it can hold.
Virginia Woolf
Now, aged 50, I'm just poised to shoot forth quite free straight and undeflected my bolts whatever they are.
Virginia Woolf
Lies will flow from my lips, but there may perhaps be some truth mixed up with them.
Virginia Woolf
There are no teachers, saints, prophets, good people, but the artists.
Virginia Woolf
No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.
Virginia Woolf
Am I a weed, carried this way, that way, on a tide that comes twice a day without a meaning?
Virginia Woolf
It was as if someone had taken a tiny bead of pure life and decking it as lightly as possible with down and feathers, had set it dancing and zigzagging to show us the true nature of life.
Virginia Woolf
Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more.
Virginia Woolf
To communicate is our chief business society and friendship our chief delights and reading, not to acquire knowledge, not to earn a living, but to extend our intercourse beyond our own time and province.
Virginia Woolf
She had the perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far out to sea and alone she always had the feeling that it was very, very, dangerous to live even one day.
Virginia Woolf
Life for both sexes is arduous, difficult, a perpetual struggle. More than anything... it calls for confidence in oneself...And how can we generate this imponderable quality most quickly? By thinking that other people are inferior to oneself.
Virginia Woolf
I feel that by writing I am doing what is far more necessary than anything else.
Virginia Woolf
Criticism? An artist wants praise. Praise.
Virginia Woolf
A biography is considered complete if it merely accounts for six or seven selves, whereas a person may well have as many as a thousand.
Virginia Woolf
I have sought happiness through many ages and not found it.
Virginia Woolf
I don't believe that you can possibly separate expression from thought in an imaginative work. The better a thing is expressed, the more completely it is thought.
Virginia Woolf
