More quotes by Virginia Woolf
To want and not to have, sent all up her body a hardness, a hollowness, a strain. And then to want and not to have- to want and want- how that wrung the heart, and wrung it again and again!
Virginia Woolf
The history of most women is hidden either by silence, or by flourishes and ornaments that amount to silence.
Virginia Woolf
Just in case you ever foolishly forget I'm never not thinking of you
Virginia Woolf
Habits and customs are a convenience devised for the support of timid natures who dare not allow their souls free play.
Virginia Woolf
Life's bare as a bone.
Virginia Woolf
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
Never let anybody guess that you have a mind of your own. Above all be pure
Virginia Woolf
We scarcely wish to analyse what we feel to be so large and deeply human.
Virginia Woolf
By the truth we are undone. Life is a dream. 'Tis the waking that kills us. He who robs us of our dreams robs us of our life.
Virginia Woolf
It was as if someone had taken a tiny bead of pure life and decking it as lightly as possible with down and feathers, had set it dancing and zigzagging to show us the true nature of life.
Virginia Woolf
The root of things, what they were all afraid of saying, was that happiness is dirt cheap. You can have it for nothing. Beauty.
Virginia Woolf
To admit authorities, however heavily furred and gowned, into our libraries and let them tell us how to read, what to read, what value to place upon what we read, is to destroy the spirit of freedom which is the breath of those sanctuaries.
Virginia Woolf
Distorted realities have always been my cup of tea.
Virginia Woolf
Come indoors then, and open the books on your library shelves. For you have a library and a good one. A working library, a living library a library where nothing is chained down and nothing is locked up a library where the songs of the singers rise naturally from the lives of the livers.
Virginia Woolf
But nothing is so strange when one is in love (and what was this except being in love?) as the complete indifference of other people.
Virginia Woolf
If Shakespeare had never existed, he asked, would the world have differed much from what it is today? Does the progress of civilization depend upon great men? Is the lot of the average human being better now that in the time of the Pharaohs?
Virginia Woolf
For the film maker must come by his convention, as painters and writers and musicians have done before him.
Virginia Woolf
Whenever you see a board up with Trespassers will be prosecuted, trespass at once.
Virginia Woolf
The truer the facts the better the fiction.
Virginia Woolf
The real novelist, the perfectly simple human being, could go on, indefinitely imaging.
Virginia Woolf
