Image
To survive, each sentence must have, at its heart, a little spark of fire, and this, whatever the risk, the novelist must pluck with his own hands from the blaze.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Oh, is this your buried treasure? The light in the heart.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Once conform, once do what other people do because they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul. She becomes all outer show and inward emptiness dull, callous, and indifferent.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Let a man get up and say, Behold, this is the truth, and instantly I perceive a sandy cat filching a piece of fish in the background. Look, you have forgotten the cat, I say.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There is no doubt in my mind, that I have found out how to begin (at 40) to say something in my own voice.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Yield to that strange passion which sends you madly whirling round the room.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Does housekeeping interest you at all? I think it really ought to be just as good as writing and I never see where the separation between the too comes in. At least if you must put books on one side and life on the other, each is a poor and bloodless thing but my theory is that they mix indistinguishable.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.
Virginia Woolf
Image
So that the monotonous fall of the waves on the beach, which for the most part beat a measured and soothing tattoo to her thoughts seemed consolingly to repeat over and over again.
Virginia Woolf
Image
... why do people who live in the country always give themselves such airs?
Virginia Woolf
Image
Facts must be manipulated some must be brightened others shaded yet, in the process, they must never lose their integrity.
Virginia Woolf
Image
My mind works in idleness. To do nothing is often my most profitable way.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I like the unreality of your mind the whole thing is very splendid and voluptuous and absurd.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Never pretend that the things you haven't got are not worth having.
Virginia Woolf
Image
When I am grown up I shall carry a notebook—a fat book with many pages, methodically lettered. I shall enter my phrases.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Of the rest some we know to be dead though they walk among us some are not yet born though they go through the forms of life others are hundreds of years old though they call themselves thirty-six.
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 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
Image
The word-coining genius, as if thought plunged into a sea of words and came up dripping.
Virginia Woolf
