More quotes by Virginia Woolf
I like the unreality of your mind the whole thing is very splendid and voluptuous and absurd.
Virginia Woolf
It rasped her, though, to have stirring about in her this brutal monster! to hear twigs cracking and feel hooves planted down in the depths of that leaf-encumbered forest, the soul never to be content quite, or quite secure, for at any moment the brute would be stirring, this hatred.
Virginia Woolf
Unless you catch ideas on the wing and nail them down, you will soon cease to have any.
Virginia Woolf
Almost any biographer, if he respects facts, can give us much more than another fact to add to our collection. He can give us the creative fact the fertile fact the fact that suggests and engenders.
Virginia Woolf
Life piles up so fast that I have no time to write out the equally fast rising mound of reflections.
Virginia Woolf
Would there be trees if we didn't see them?
Virginia Woolf
Whatever may be their use in civilized societies, mirrors are essential to all violent and heroic action.
Virginia Woolf
Her life was a tissue of vanity and deceit.
Virginia Woolf
The eyes of others our prisons their thoughts our cages.
Virginia Woolf
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
Who shall measure the hat and violence of the poet's heart when caught and tangled in a woman's body?
Virginia Woolf
But nevertheless, the fact remained, it was almost impossible to dislike anyone if one looked at them.
Virginia Woolf
So long as you write what you wish to write, that is all that matters and whether it matters for ages or only for hours, nobody can say.
Virginia Woolf
To stand in a great bookshop crammed with books so new that their pages almost stick together, and the gilt on their backs is still fresh, has an excitement no less delightful than the old excitement of the second-hand bookstall.
Virginia Woolf
A veil of insanity everywhere: Oh why I was born in this age? It is a terrible age.
Virginia Woolf
But I don't think of the future, or the past, I feast on the moment. This is the secret of happiness, but only reached now in middle age.
Virginia Woolf
Love ought to stop on both sides, don’t you think, simultaneously?’ He spoke without any stress on the words, so as not to wake the sleepers. ‘But it won’t - that’s the devil,’ he added in the same undertone.
Virginia Woolf
I am in the mood to dissolve in the sky.
Virginia Woolf
The connection between dress and war is not far to seek your finest clothes are those you wear as soldiers.
Virginia Woolf
The best letters of our time are precisely those that can never be published.
Virginia Woolf
