It was as if someone had taken a tiny bead of pure life and decking it as lightly as possible with down and feathers, had set it dancing and zigzagging to show us the true nature of life (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Whatever may be their use in civilized societies, mirrors are essential to all violent and heroic action (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Chastity... has, even now, a religious importance in a woman’s life, and has so wrapped itself round with nerves and instincts that to cut it free and bring it to the light of day demands courage of the rarest (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
For this moment, this one moment, we are together. I press you to me. Come, pain, feed on me. Bury your fangs in my flesh. Tear me asunder. I sob, I sob (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
No, she thought, one could say nothing to nobody. The urgency of the moment always missed its mark. Words fluttered sideways and struck the object inches too low (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
How then did it work out, all this? How did one judge people, think of them? How did one add up this and that and conclude that it is liking one felt, or disliking? (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
They lack suggestive power. And when a book lacks suggestive power, however hard it hits the surface of the mind it cannot penetrate within (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Alone, I often fall down into nothingness. I must push my foot stealthily lest I should fall off the edge of the world into nothingness. I have to bang my head against some hard door to call myself back to the body (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I am tied down with single words. But you wander off; you slip away; you rise up higher, with words and words in phrases (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I need silence, and to be alone and to go out, and to save one hour to consider what has happened to my world, what death has done to my world (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Am I too fast, too facile? I do not know. I do not know myself sometimes, or how to measure and name and count out the grains that make me what I am (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
We are cut, we are fallen. We are become part of that unfeeling universe that sleeps when we are at our quickest and burns red when we lie asleep (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
One cannot bring children into a world like this. One cannot perpetuate suffering, or increase the breed of these lustful animals, who have no lasting emotions, but only whims and vanities, eddying them now this way, now that (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
The flower bloomed and faded. The sun rose and sank. The lover loved and went. And what the poets said in rhyme, the young translated into practice (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Once she knows how to read there’s only one thing you can teach her to believe in and that is herself (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading; since, as you will agree, one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
The sigh of all the seas breaking in measure round the isles soothed them; the night wrapped them; nothing broke their sleep, until, the birds beginning and the dawn weaving their thin voices in to its whiteness (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
So fine was the morning except for a streak of wind here and there that the sea and sky looked all one fabric, as if sails were stuck high up in the sky, or the clouds had dropped down into the sea (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I feel so intensely the delights of shutting oneself up in a little world of one’s own, with pictures and music and everything beautiful (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
And now more than anything I want beautiful prose. I relish it more and more exquisitely (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Wat a vast fertility of pleasure books hold for me! I went in and found the table laden with books. I looked in and sniffed them all. I could not resist carrying this one off and broaching it. I think I could happily live here and read forever (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
It is impossible for human beings, constituted as they are, both to fight and to have ideals (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I do not want to be admired. I want to give, to be given, and solitude in which to unfold my possessions (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
If the best of one’s feelings means nothing to the person most concerned in those feelings, what reality is left us? (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I am overwhelmed with things I ought to have written about and never found the proper words (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
No sooner have you feasted on beauty with your eyes than your mind tells you that beauty is vain and beauty passes (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
She dares me to pour myself out like a living waterfall. She dares me to enter the soul that is more than my own; she extinguishes fear in mere seconds. She lets light come through (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
So that the monotonous fall of the waves on the beach, which for the most part beat a measured and soothing tattoo to her thoughts seemed consolingly to repeat over and over again (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
How many times have people used a pen or paintbrush because they couldn’t pull the trigger? (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Orlando naturally loved solitary places, vast views, and to feel himself for ever and ever and ever alone (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
