More quotes by Virginia Woolf
The extraordinary woman depends on the ordinary woman.
Virginia Woolf
Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.
Virginia Woolf
I want to write a novel about Silence, he said “the things people don’t say.
Virginia Woolf
A million candles burnt in him without his being at the trouble of lighting a single one
Virginia Woolf
more and more I come to loathe any dominion of one over another any leadership, any imposition of the will.
Virginia Woolf
I was lying in bed this morning and saying to myself, 'the remarkable thing about Ethel is her stupendous self-satisfaction' when in came your letter to confirm this profound psychological observation. How delighted I was!
Virginia Woolf
For it would seem - her case proved it - that we write, not with the fingers, but with the whole person. The nerve which controls the pen winds itself about every fibre of our being, threads the heart, pierces the liver.
Virginia Woolf
Friendships, even the best of them, are frail things. One drifts apart.
Virginia Woolf
A thousand things to be written had I time: had I power. A very little writing uses up my capacity for writing.
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
For books continue each other, in spite of our habit of judging them separately.
Virginia Woolf
Methinks the human method of expression by sound of tongue is very elementary, and ought to be substituted for some ingenious invention which should be able to give vent to at least six coherent sentences at once.
Virginia Woolf
... I doubt the capacity of the human animal for being dignified in ceremony.
Virginia Woolf
Let it be fact, one feels, or let it be fiction the imagination will not serve under two masters simultaneously.
Virginia Woolf
In solitude we give passionate attention to our lives, to our memories, to the details around us.
Virginia Woolf
With my cheek leant upon the window pane I like to fancy that I am pressing as closely as can be upon the massy wall of time, which is forever lifting and pulling and letting fresh spaces of life in upon us. May it be mine to taste the moment before it has spread itself over the rest of the world! Let me taste the newest and the freshest.
Virginia Woolf
Yes, she thought, laying down her brush in extreme fatigues, I have had my vision.
Virginia Woolf
The most extraordinary thing about writing is that when you've struck the right vein, tiredness goes. It must be an effort, thinking wrong.
Virginia Woolf
Nothing is stronger than the position of the dead among the living.
Virginia Woolf
I am all the time thinking about poetry and fiction and you.
Virginia Woolf
