Text Quotes
A sort of transaction went on between them, in which she was on one side, and life was on another, and she was always trying to get the better of it, as it was of her (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
... she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
It was a miserable machine, an inefficient machine, she thought, the human apparatus for painting or for feeling; it always broke down at the critical moment; heroically, one must force it on (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Outside the trees dragged their leaves like nets through the depths of the air; the sound of water was in the room and through the waves came the voices of birds singing (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Vain trifles as they seem, clothes have, they say, more important offices than to merely keep us warm. They change our view of the world and the world’s view of us (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
No passion is stronger in the breast of a man than the desire to make others believe as he believes. Nothing so cuts at the root of his happiness and fills him with rage as the sense that another rates low what he prizes high (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
He called her a melon, a pineapple, an olive tree, an emerald, and a fox in the snow all in the space of three seconds; he did not know whether he had heard her, tasted her, seen her, or all three together (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
He thought her beautiful, believed her impeccably wise; dreamed of her, wrote poems to her, which, ignoring the subject, she corrected in red ink (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Now this is very profound, what rhythm is, and goes far deeper than words. A sight, an emotion, creates this wave in the mind, long before it makes words to fit it (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
There is a coherence in things, a stability; something... is immune from change and shines out... in the face of the flowing, the fleeting, the spectral, like a ruby (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Half the time she did things not simply, not for themselves; but to make people think this or that; perfect idiocy she knew for no one was ever for a second taken in (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Human beings have neither kindness, nor faith, nor charity beyond what serves to increase the pleasure of the moment (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Our apparitions, the things you know us by, are simply childish. Beneath it is all dark, it is all spreading, it is unfathomably deep; but now and again we rise to the surface and that is what you see us by (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
As for my next book, I won’t write it till it has grown heavy in my mind like a ripe pear; pendant, gravid, asking to be cut or it will fall (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I spent an hour looking at pots and carpets in the museums the other day, until the desire to describe them became like the desire for the lusts of the flesh (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Never are voices so beautiful as on a winter’s evening, when dusk almost hides the body, and they seem to issue from nothingness with a note of intimacy seldom heard by day (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
They came to her, naturally, since she was a woman, all day long with this and that; one wanting this, another that; the children were growing up; she often felt she was nothing but a sponge sopped full of human emotions (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
When people are happy they have a reserve upon which to draw, whereas she was like a wheel without a tyre (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Fear no more, says the heart, committing its burden to some sea, which sighs collectively for all sorrows, and renews, begins, collects, lets fall (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
There is the strange power we have of changing facts by the force of the imagination (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
And then he could not see her come into a room without a sense of the flowing of robes, of the flowering of blossoms, of the purple waves of the sea, of all things that are lovely and mutable on the surface but still and passionate in their heart (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Are we so made that we have to take death in small doses daily or we could not go on with the business of living? (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Ransack the language as he might, words failed him. He wanted another landscape, and another tongue (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
One should be a painter. As a writer, I feel the beauty, which is almost entirely colour, very subtle, very changeable, running over my pen, as if you poured a large jug of champagne over a hairpin (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
The root of things, what they were all afraid of saying, was that happiness is dirt cheap. You can have it for nothing. Beauty (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I begin to long for some little language such as lovers use, broken words, inarticulate words, like the shuffling of feet on pavement (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Green in nature is one thing, green in literature another. Nature and letters seem to have a natural antipathy; bring them together and they tear each other to pieces (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
