So that is marriage, Lily thought, a man and a woman looking at a girl throwing a ball
Virginia Woolf
Image
After that, how unbelievable death was! - that is must end and no one in the whole world would know how she had loved it all.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The profound difference that divides the human race is a question of bait - whether to fish with worms or not.

How many times have people used a pen or paintbrush because they couldn’t pull the trigger?
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is impossible for human beings, constituted as they are, both to fight and to have ideals.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But when the door shuts on us, all that vanishes. The shell-like covering which our souls have excreted to house themselves, to make for themselves a shape distinct from others, is broken, and there is left of all these wrinkles and roughnesses a central oyster of perceptiveness, an enormous eye. How beautiful a street is in winter!
Virginia Woolf

It is probable that both in life and in art the values of a woman are not the values of a man.
Virginia Woolf
Image
... if we can imagine the art of fiction come alive and standing in our midst, she would undoubtedly bid us to break her and bullyher, as well as honour and love her, for so her youth is renewed and her sovereignty assured.
Virginia Woolf
Image
If it were now to die, 'twere now to be most happy.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
Image
Yet, it is true, poetry is delicious the best prose is that which is most full of poetry.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Women have served all these centuries as looking glasses possessing the power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Why have I so little control? It is the case of much waste and pain in my life.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am overwhelmed with things I ought to have written about and never found the proper words.
Virginia Woolf
Image
History is too much about wars biography too much about great men.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Once you fall, Septimus repeated to himself, human nature is on you. Holmes and Bradshaw are on you. They scour the desert. They fly screaming into the wilderness. The rack and the thumbscrew are applied. Human nature is remorseless.
Virginia Woolf
Image
This soul, or life within us, by no means agrees with the life outside us. If one has the courage to ask her what she thinks, she is always saying the very opposite to what other people say.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The immense success of our life is, I think, that our treasure is hid away or rather in such common things that nothing can touch it.
