More quotes by Virginia Woolf
Would there be trees if we didn't see them?
Virginia Woolf
If this were the time or the place to uphold a paradox, I am half inclined to state that Norfolk is one of the most beautiful of counties.
Virginia Woolf
He thought her beautiful, believed her impeccably wise dreamed of her, wrote poems to her, which, ignoring the subject, she corrected in red ink.
Virginia Woolf
Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame.
Virginia Woolf
Young women... you are, in my opinion, disgracefully ignorant. You have never made a discovery of any sort of importance. You have never shaken an empire or led an army into battle. The plays by Shakespeare are not by you, and you have never introduced a barbarous race to the blessings of civilization. What is your excuse?
Virginia Woolf
loveliness is infernally sad.
Virginia Woolf
All this pitting of sex against sex, of quality against quality all this claiming of superiority and imputing of inferiority belong to the private-school stage of human existence where there are sides, and it is necessary for one side to beat another side.
Virginia Woolf
and even a tea party means apprehension, breakage
Virginia Woolf
I spent an hour looking at pots and carpets in the museums the other day, until the desire to describe them became like the desire for the lusts of the flesh.
Virginia Woolf
I prefer men to cauliflowers
Virginia Woolf
Still, life had a way of adding day to day
Virginia Woolf
Nothing, however, can be more arrogant, though nothing is commoner than to assume that of Gods there is only one, and of religions none but the speaker’s.
Virginia Woolf
Chastity ... has, even now, a religious importance in a woman's life, and has so wrapped itself round with nerves and instincts that to cut it free and bring it to the light of day demands courage of the rarest.
Virginia Woolf
The very stone one kicks with one's boot will outlast Shakespeare.
Virginia Woolf
I always had the deepest affection for people who carried sublime tears in their silences.
Virginia Woolf
To let oneself be carried on passively is unthinkable.
Virginia Woolf
Peace was the third emotion. Love. Hate. Peace. Three emotions made the ply of human life.
Virginia Woolf
Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.
Virginia Woolf
If it were now to die, 'twere now to be most happy.
Virginia Woolf
war is a man's game ... the killing machine has a gender and it is male.
Virginia Woolf
