More quotes by Virginia Woolf
The first duty of a lecturer: to hand you after an hour's discourse a nugget of pure truth to wrap up between the pages of your notebooks, and keep on the mantelpiece forever.
Virginia Woolf
You have a touch in letter writing that is beyond me. Something unexpected, like coming round a corner in a rose garden and finding it still daylight.
Virginia Woolf
Consolation for those moments when you can't tell whether you're the divinest genius or the greatest fool in the world.
Virginia Woolf
A whole lifetime was too short to bring out, the full flavour to extract every ounce of pleasure, every shade of meaning.
Virginia Woolf
The cold stream of visual impressions failed him now as if the eye were a cup that overflowed and let the rest run down its china walls unrecorded.
Virginia Woolf
Oh, I am in love with life!
Virginia Woolf
writing is the profound pleasure and being read the superficial.
Virginia Woolf
Let us again pretend that life is a solid substance, shaped like a globe, which we turn about in our fingers. Let us pretend that we can make out a plain and logical story, so that when one matter is despatched—love for instance—we go on, in an orderly manner, to the next.
Virginia Woolf
Half the time she did things not simply, not for themselves but to make people think this or that perfect idiocy she knew for no one was ever for a second taken in.
Virginia Woolf
Incessant company is as bad as solitary confinement.
Virginia Woolf
Money dignifies what is frivolous if unpaid for.
Virginia Woolf
I am tied down with single words. But you wander off you slip away you rise up higher, with words and words in phrases.
Virginia Woolf
I like going from one lighted room to another, such is my brain to me lighted rooms.
Virginia Woolf
I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.
Virginia Woolf
Why, if it was an illusion, not praise the catastrophe, whatever it was, that destroyed illusion and put truth in it's place?
Virginia Woolf
A masterpiece is something said once and for all, stated, finished, so that it's there complete in the mind, if only at the back.
Virginia Woolf
I’m not clear enough in the head to feel anything but varieties of dull anger and arrows of sadness.
Virginia Woolf
One must learn to be silent just as one must learn to talk.
Virginia Woolf
The connection between dress and war is not far to seek your finest clothes are those you wear as soldiers.
Virginia Woolf
All extremes of feeling are allied to madness.
Virginia Woolf
