Virginia Woolf
Image
Do not move, do not go. Sink within this moment. Hold it for ever.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Alone, condemned, deserted, as those who are about to die are alone, there was a luxury in it, an isolation full of sublimity a freedom which the attached can never know
Virginia Woolf
Image
The connection between dress and war is not far to seek your finest clothes are those you wear as soldiers.
Virginia Woolf
Image
every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind is written large in his works, yet we require critics to explain the one and biographers to expound the other. That time hangs heavy on people's hands is the only explanation of the monstrous growth.
Virginia Woolf
Image
more and more I come to loathe any dominion of one over another any leadership, any imposition of the will.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am rooted, but I flow.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Yet, it is true, poetry is delicious the best prose is that which is most full of poetry.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Women and fiction remain, so far as I am concerned, unsolved problems.
Virginia Woolf

When you consider things like the stars, our affairs don't seem to matter very much, do they?
Virginia Woolf

The truer the facts the better the fiction.
