Text Quotes
As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by his heart, and his friends can only read the title  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) I want the concentration and the romance, and the worlds all glued together, fused, glowing: have no time to waste any more on prose  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) It is curious how instinctively one protects the image of oneself from idolatry or any other handling that could make it ridiculous, or too unlike the original to be believed any longer  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) It is fatal to be a man or woman pure and simple: one must be a woman manly, or a man womanly  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) Once conform, once do what other people do because they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul. She becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) One likes people much better when they’re battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) One of the signs of passing youth is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) Somewhere, everywhere, now hidden, now apparent in what ever is written down, is the form of a human being. If we seek to know him, are we idly occupied?  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) The poet gives us his essence, but prose takes the mold of the body and mind  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us, and not we, them; we may make them take the mould of arm or breast, but they mould our hearts, our brains, our tongues to their liking  (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) To depend upon a profession is a less odious form of slavery than to depend upon a father  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) Who shall measure the hat and violence of the poet’s heart when caught and tangled in a woman’s body?  (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) Now, aged 50, I’m just poised to shoot forth quite free straight and undeflected my bolts whatever they are  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) Novels so often provide an anodyne and not an antidote, glide one into torpid slumbers instead of rousing one with a burning brand  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) Most of a modest woman’s life was spent, after all, in denying what, in one day at least of every year, was made obvious  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) Methinks the human method of expression by sound of tongue is very elementary, and ought to be substituted for some ingenious invention which should be able to give vent to at least six coherent sentences at once  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) The interest in life does not lie in what people do, nor even in their relations to each other, but largely in the power to communicate with a third party, antagonistic, enigmatic, yet perhaps persuadable, which one may call life in general  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) So the days pass, and I ask myself whether one is not hypnotized, as a child by a silver globe, by life, and whether this is living  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) Women have burnt like beacons in all the works of all the poets from the beginning of time  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) She had the perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very, dangerous to live even one day  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) When you consider things like the stars, our affairs don’t seem to matter very much, do they?  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) The most extraordinary thing about writing is that when you’ve struck the right vein, tiredness goes. It must be an effort, thinking wrong  (Virginia Woolf Quotes) I feel that by writing I am doing what is far more necessary than anything else  (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
