More quotes by Virginia Woolf
Why, he wondered, did people who had been asleep always want to make out that they were extremely wide-awake?
Virginia Woolf
Words belong to each other.
Virginia Woolf
and then he could not see her come into a room without a sense of the flowing of robes, of the flowering of blossoms, of the purple waves of the sea, of all things that are lovely and mutable on the surface but still and passionate in their heart.
Virginia Woolf
It is from the middle class that writers spring, because, it is in the middle class only that the practice of writing is as natural and habitual as hoeing a field or building a house.
Virginia Woolf
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
Sometimes I think heaven must be one continuous unexhausted reading.
Virginia Woolf
As a creator of character his peculiarity is that he creates wherever his eyes rest ... With such a power at his command Dickens made his books blaze up, not by tightening the plot or sharpening the wit, but by throwing another handful of people upon the fire.
Virginia Woolf
I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river, to me you're everything that exists the reality of everything.
Virginia Woolf
Never are voices so beautiful as on a winter's evening, when dusk almost hides the body, and they seem to issue from nothingness with a note of intimacy seldom heard by day.
Virginia Woolf
So long as you write what you wish to write, that is all that matters and whether it matters for ages or only for hours, nobody can say.
Virginia Woolf
I'm sick to death of this particular self. I want another.
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
How can I express the darkness?
Virginia Woolf
For the film maker must come by his convention, as painters and writers and musicians have done before him.
Virginia Woolf
Lies will flow from my lips, but there may perhaps be some truth mixed up with them.
Virginia Woolf
For the young people could not talk. And why should they? Shout, embrace, swing, be up at dawn.
Virginia Woolf
Now begins to rise in me the familiar rhythm words that have lain dormant now lift, now toss their crests, and fall and rise, and falls again. I am a poet, yes. Surely I am a great poet.
Virginia Woolf
All the months are crude experiments, out of which the perfect September is made.
Virginia Woolf
As an experience, madness is terrific ... and in its lava I still find most of the things I write about.
Virginia Woolf
As for 'drawing you out,' please believe I don't do such things deliberately, with an object -- It's only that I am, as a rule, far more interested in people than they are in me -- But it makes me a nuisance, I know: only an innocent nuisance.
Virginia Woolf
