Besides, in this random miscellaneous company we may rub against some complete stranger who will, with luck, turn into the best friend we have in the world.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Young women... you are, in my opinion, disgracefully ignorant. You have never made a discovery of any sort of importance. You have never shaken an empire or led an army into battle. The plays by Shakespeare are not by you, and you have never introduced a barbarous race to the blessings of civilization. What is your excuse?
Virginia Woolf
Image
Dance music ... stirs some barbaric instinct - lulled asleep in our sober lives - you forget centuries of civilization in a second, & yield to that strange passion which sends you madly whirling round the room.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There can be no two opinions as to what a highbrow is. He is the man or woman of thoroughbred intelligence who rides his mind at a gallop across country in pursuit of an idea.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I always had the deepest affection for people who carried sublime tears in their silences.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Humor is the first of the gifts to perish in a foreign tongue.
Virginia Woolf
Image

Virginia Woolf
Image
madam, the man cried, leaping to the ground, you're hurt! I'm dead, sir! she replied. A few minutes later, they became engaged.
Virginia Woolf
Image

Virginia Woolf
Image

Virginia Woolf
Image
With her foot on the threshold she waited a moment longer in a scene which was vanishing even as she looked, and then, as she moved and took Minta's arm and left the room, it changed, it shaped itself differently it had become, she knew, giving one last look at it over her shoulder, already the past.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A self that goes on changing is a self that goes on living.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am in the mood to dissolve in the sky.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But Sasha who after all had no English blood in her but was from Russia where the sunsets are longer, the dawns less sudden, and sentences often left unfinished from doubt as to how best to end them.
Virginia Woolf
Image
We agreed that people are now afraid of the English language. He [T.S. Eliot] said it came of being bookish, but not reading books enough. One should read all styles thoroughly.
Virginia Woolf
Image
To be nothing - is that not, after all, the most satisfactory fact in the whole world?
Virginia Woolf
Image
... pure honesty is a doubtful quality it means often lack of imagination.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Nothing has really happened until it has been recorded.
Virginia Woolf
Image
And yet, the only exciting life is the imaginary one.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Moments like this are buds on the tree of life. Flowers of darkness they are.
Virginia Woolf
