Text Quotes
What a labour writing is... making one sentence do the work of a page; that’s what I call hard work (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
To survive, each sentence must have, at its heart, a little spark of fire, and this, whatever the risk, the novelist must pluck with his own hands from the blaze (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Women have always been poor, not for two hundred years merely, but from the beginning of time.... Women, then, have not had a dog’s chance of writing poetry. That is why I have laid so much stress on money and a room of one’s own (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
There is something about the present which we would not exchange, though we were offered a choice of all past ages to live in (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
... the transaction between a writer and the spirit of the age is one of infinite delicacy, and upon a nice arrangement between the two the whole fortune of his works depend (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Books should stand on their own feet... If they need shoring up by a preface here, an introduction there, they have no more right to exist than a table that needs a wad of paper under one leg in order to stand steady (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
... the public and the private worlds are inseparably connected... the tyrannies and servilities of the one are the tyrannies and servilities of the other (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Peace was the third emotion. Love. Hate. Peace. Three emotions made the ply of human life (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
A thousand things to be written had I time: had I power. A very little writing uses up my capacity for writing (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
One should aim, seriously, at disregarding ups and downs; a compliment here, silence there... the central fact remains stable, which is the fact of my own pleasure in the art (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Writing is a divine art, and the more I write and read the more I love it (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
As I grow old I hate the writing of letters more and more, and like getting them better and better (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I don’t believe that you can possibly separate expression from thought in an imaginative work. The better a thing is expressed, the more completely it is thought (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Why does one write these books after all? The drudgery, the misery, the grind, are forgotten everytime; and one launches another, and it seems sheer joy and buoyancy (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
As nobody can possibly tell me whether one’s writing is bad or good, the only certain value is one’s own pleasure. I am sure of that (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
... like all very handsome men who die tragically, he left not so much a character behind him as a legend. Youth and death shed a halo through which it is difficult to see a real face (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Speech is an old torn net, through which the fish escape as one casts it over them (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
You cannot cross the narrow bridge of art carrying all its tools in your hands. Some you must leave behind (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
It doesn’t have to be the truth, just your vision of it, written down (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I was so pleased and excited by your letter that I trotted about all day like a puppy with a bone (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
It is part of the novelist’s convention not to mention soup and salmon and ducklings, as if soup and salmon and ducklings were of no importance (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
... the random talk of people who have no chance of immortality and thus can speak their minds out has a setting, often, of lights, streets, houses, human beings, beautiful or grotesque, which will weave itself into the moment for ever (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
The strange thing about life is that though the nature of it must have been apparent to every one for hundreds of years, no one has left any adequate account of it (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Have you any notion how many books are written about women in the course of one year? Have you any notion how many are written by men? Are you aware that you are, perhaps, the most discussed animal in the universe? (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
So coming back from a journey, or after an illness, before habits had spun themselves across the surface, one felt that same unreality, which was so startling; felt something emerge. Life was most vivid then (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Until we can comprehend the beguiling beauty of a single flower, we are woefully unable to grasp the meaning and potential of life itself (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
A good essay must have this permanent quality about it; it must draw its curtain round us, but it must be a curtain that shuts us in not out (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
A masterpiece is something said once and for all, stated, finished, so that it’s there complete in the mind, if only at the back (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
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 Quotes)
