Text Quotes
Our friends - how distant, how mute, how seldom visited and little known. And I, too, am dim to my friends and unknown; a phantom, sometimes seen, often not. Life is a dream surely (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I have made up thousands of stories; I have filled innumerable notebooks with phrases to be used when I have found the true story, the one story to which all these phrases refer. But I have never yet found the story. And I begin to ask, Are there stories? (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Effort ceases. Time flaps on the mast. There we stop; there we stand. Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Just in case you ever foolishly forget; I’m never not thinking of you (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Of course, literature is the only spiritual and humane career. Even painting tends to dumness, and music turns people erotic, whereas the more you write the nicer you become (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
But what is more to the point is my belief that the habit of writing thus for my own eye only is good practice. It loosens the ligaments. Never mind the misses and the stumbles (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
As an actor, to go and see those shows - great plays like ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’ and Clifford Odets’s ‘Golden Boy’ - it’s so exhilarating. I’d personally love to perform the role of Jerry in Edward Albee’s ‘The Zoo Story.’ He’s a transient, lost soul, and an example of humanity at its rawest (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Like my hero Virginia Woolf, I do lack confidence. I always find that the novel I’m finishing, even if it’s turned out fairly well, is not the novel I had in my mind. I think a lot of writers must negotiate this, and if they don’t admit it, they’re not being honest (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Virginia Woolf came along in the early part of the century and essentially said through her writing, yes, big books can be written about the traditional big subjects. There is war. There is the search for God. These are all very important things (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Virginia Woolf’s great novel, ‘Mrs. Dalloway,’ is the first great book I ever read. I read it almost by accident when I was in high school, when I was 15 years old (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
When you think about Broadway, you think broad and big, but the fact is there are so many plays that are very intimate, but fill a 1,500-seat house. Plays like ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’ have deep moments of silence and intimacy to them (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I like reading... French, Russian classics - Gogol, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Flaubert. I also like Hemingway, Virginia Woolf (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I fell in love with Virginia Woolf in college. I especially admire how well she writes about daily life, how she captures so much meaning and consequence in the smallest details of a day (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Virginia Woolf, I enjoyed talking to her, but thought nothing of her writing. I considered her ‘a beautiful little knitter (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
You would get longer livelier and more frequent letters from me, if it weren’t for the Christian religion. How that bell tolling at the end of the garden, dum dum, dum dum, annoys me! Why is Christianity so insistent and so sad? (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I was lying in bed this morning and saying to myself, ‘the remarkable thing about Ethel is her stupendous self-satisfaction’ when in came your letter to confirm this profound psychological observation. How delighted I was! (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
There was a day when I liked writing letters -- it has gone. Unfortunately the passion for getting them remains (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
When I saw what painting had done in the last thirty years, what literature had done - people like Joyce and Virginia Woolf, Faulkner and Hemingway - in France we have Nathalie Sarraute - and paintings became so strongly contemporary while cinema was just following the path of theater. I have to do something which relates with my time, and in my time, we make things differently (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I loved languages, and loved learning languages. It was fantastic. But I was alone there. I remember that time as a real Virginia Woolf time. More than any language it was her language that influenced me (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
To be nothing - is that not, after all, the most satisfactory fact in the whole world? (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
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 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)
I’m not clear enough in the head to feel anything but varieties of dull anger and arrows of sadness. (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)
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)
If we didn’t live venturously, plucking the wild goat by the beard, and trembling over precipices, we should never be depressed, I’ve no doubt; but already should be faded, fatalistic and aged. (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)
She heard some voice saying she couldn’t paint, saying she couldn’t create, as if she were caught up in one of those habitual currents in which after a certain time experience forms in the mind, so that one repeats words without being aware any longer who originally spoke them. (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
No passion is stronger in the breast of man than the desire to make others believe as he believes (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
These are the soul’s changes. I don’t believe in ageing. I believe in forever altering one’s aspect to the sun. Hence my optimism. (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
