More quotes by Virginia Woolf
I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.
Virginia Woolf
Intellectual freedom depends upon material things.
Virginia Woolf
I am volatile for one, rigid for another, angular as an icicle in silver, or voluptuous as a candle flame in gold.
Virginia Woolf
Boredom is the legitimate kingdom of the philanthropic.
Virginia Woolf
To make ideas effective, we must be able to fire them off. We must put them into action.
Virginia Woolf
Doesn't one always think of the past, in a garden with men and women lying under the trees? Aren't they one's past, all that remains of it, those men and women, those ghosts lying under the trees ... one's happiness, one's reality?
Virginia Woolf
Most of a modest woman's life was spent, after all, in denying what, in one day at least of every year, was made obvious.
Virginia Woolf
To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves.
Virginia Woolf
When people are happy they have a reserve upon which to draw, whereas she was like a wheel without a tyre
Virginia Woolf
Yield to that strange passion which sends you madly whirling round the room.
Virginia Woolf
That complete statement which is literature.
Virginia Woolf
The very stone one kicks with one's boot will outlast Shakespeare.
Virginia Woolf
The art of writing has for backbone some fierce attachment to an idea.
Virginia Woolf
She felt... how life, from being made up of little separate incidents which one lived one by one, became curled and whole like a wave which bore one up with it and threw one down with it, there, with a dash on the beach.
Virginia Woolf
As for 'drawing you out,' please believe I don't do such things deliberately, with an object -- It's only that I am, as a rule, far more interested in people than they are in me -- But it makes me a nuisance, I know: only an innocent nuisance.
Virginia Woolf
...she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day.
Virginia Woolf
For if Chloe likes Olivia and Mary Carmichael knows how to express it she will light a torch in that vast chamber where nobody has yet been.
Virginia Woolf
The hatchet must fall on the block the oak must be cleft to the centre. The weight of the world is on my shoulders. Here is the pen and the paper on the letters in the wire basket I sign my name, I, I, and again I.
Virginia Woolf
What is meant by reality? It would seem to be something very erratic, very undependable - now to be found in a dusty road, now in a scrap of newspaper in the street, now a daffodil in the sun. It lights up a group in a room and stamps some casual saying
Virginia Woolf
I’m not clear enough in the head to feel anything but varieties of dull anger and arrows of sadness.
Virginia Woolf
