More quotes by Virginia Woolf
One of the signs of passing youth is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them.
Virginia Woolf
Writing is still like heaving bricks over a wall.
Virginia Woolf
When, however, one reads of a witch being ducked, of a woman possessed by devils, of a wise woman selling herbs, or even a very remarkable man who had a mother, then I think we are on the track of a lost novelist, a suppressed poet. . . indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.
Virginia Woolf
All women together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn, for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds.
Virginia Woolf
Disastrous would have been the result if a fire or a death had suddenly demanded something heroic of human nature, but tragedies come in the hungry hours.
Virginia Woolf
What is a woman? I assure you, I do not know ... I do not believe that anybody can know until she has expressed herself in all the arts and professions open to human skill.
Virginia Woolf
But our hatred is almost indistinguishable from our love.
Virginia Woolf
A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.
Virginia Woolf
Why, he wondered, did people who had been asleep always want to make out that they were extremely wide-awake?
Virginia Woolf
How are we to account for the strange human craving for the pleasure of feeling afraid which is so much involved in our love of ghost stories?
Virginia Woolf
He called her a melon, a pineapple, an olive tree, an emerald, and a fox in the snow all in the space of three seconds he did not know whether he had heard her, tasted her, seen her, or all three together.
Virginia Woolf
He smiled the most exquisite smile, veiled by memory, tinged by dreams.
Virginia Woolf
In the 18th century we knew how everything was done, but here I rise through the air, I listen to voices in America, I see men flying- but how is it done? I can't even begin to wonder. So my belief in magic returns.
Virginia Woolf
For pleasure has no relish unless we share it.
Virginia Woolf
Books are the mirrors of the soul.
Virginia Woolf
[Ulysses is] the work of a queasy undergraduate scratching his pimples.
Virginia Woolf
The older one grows, the more one likes indecency.
Virginia Woolf
To be caught happy in a world of misery was for an honest man the most despicable of crimes.
Virginia Woolf
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
Clothes are but a symbol of something hid deep beneath.
Virginia Woolf
