Quote

Until we can comprehend the beguiling beauty of a single flower, we are woefully unable to grasp the meaning and potential of life itself.

More quotes by 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
For it is probable that when people talk aloud, the selves (of which there may be more than two thousand) are conscious of disserverment, and are trying to communicate but when communication is established there is nothing more to be said.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Only longing can fill with more of itself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I will go down with my colours flying.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Truth had run through my fingers. Every drop had escaped.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am rooted, but I flow.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am to be broken. I am to be derided all my life. I am to be cast up and down among these men and women, with their twitching faces, with their lying tongues, like a cork on a rough sea. Like a ribbon of weed I am flung far every time the door opens.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Money dignifies what is frivolous if unpaid for.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Friendships, even the best of them, are frail things. One drifts apart.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Nothing has really happened until it has been recorded.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For there is a virtue in truth it has an almost mystic power. Like radium, it seems to give off forever and ever grains of energy, atoms of light.
Virginia Woolf
Image
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
That great Cathedral space which was childhood.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Madness is terrific I can assure you, and not to be sniffed at and in its lava I still find most of the things I write about. It shoots out of one everything shaped, final, not in mere driblets, as sanity does.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is fatal to be a man or woman pure and simple: one must be a woman manly, or a man womanly.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I will not be famous, great. I will go on adventuring, changing, opening my mind and my eyes, refusing to be stamped and stereotyped. The thing is to free one's self: to let it find its dimensions, not be impeded.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Better was it to go unknown and leave behind you an arch, then to burn like a meteor and leave no dust.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is worth mentioning, for future reference, that the creative power which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in. Then one becomes resigned. Determination not to give in, and the sense of an impending shape keep one at it more than anything.

Tragedies come in the hungry hours.
