Text Quotes
This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing room (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
This soul, or life within us, by no means agrees with the life outside us. If one has the courage to ask her what she thinks, she is always saying the very opposite to what other people say (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
We can best help you to prevent war not by repeating your words and following your methods but by finding new words and creating new methods (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
When the shriveled skin of the ordinary is stuffed out with meaning, it satisfies the senses amazingly (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Women have served all these centuries as looking glasses possessing the power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Yet, it is true, poetry is delicious; the best prose is that which is most full of poetry (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
One ought to sink to the bottom of the sea, probably, and live alone with one’s words (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
A biography is considered complete if it merely accounts for six or seven selves, whereas a person may well have as many as a thousand (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Art is not a copy of the real world; one of the damn things is enough (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
O how blessed it would be never to marry, or grow old; but to spend one’s life innocently and indifferently among the trees and rivers which alone can keep one cool and childlike in the midst of the troubles of the world! (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
To be caught happy in a world of misery was for an honest man the most despicable of crimes (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
A whole lifetime was too short to bring out, the full flavour; to extract every ounce of pleasure, every shade of meaning (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Madness is terrific I can assure you, and not to be sniffed at; and in its lava I still find most of the things I write about. It shoots out of one everything shaped, final, not in mere driblets, as sanity does (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I grow numb; I grow stiff. How shall I break up this numbness which discredits my sympathetic heart? (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Unless you catch ideas on the wing and nail them down, you will soon cease to have any (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
You have a touch in letter writing that is beyond me. Something unexpected, like coming round a corner in a rose garden and finding it still daylight (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Why is life so tragic; so like a little strip of pavement over an abyss. I look down; I feel giddy; I wonder how I am ever to walk to the end (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Lies will flow from my lips, but there may perhaps be some truth mixed up with them (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
In marriage a little licence, a little independence there must be between people living together day in and day out in the same house (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
As an experience, madness is terrific... and in its lava I still find most of the things I write about (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
Indeed, I thought, slipping the silver into my purse, it is remarkable, remembering the bitterness of those days, what a change of temper a fixed income will bring about (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
If newspapers were written by people whose sole object in writing was to tell the truth about politics and the truth about art we should not believe in war, and we should believe in art (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
I believe that the main thing in beginning a novel is to feel, not that you can write it, but that it exists on the far side of a gulf, which words can’t cross: that it’s to be pulled through only in a breathless anguish (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
The sea was indistinguishable from the sky, except that the sea was slightly creased as if a cloth had wrinkles in it (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
More and more I come to loathe any dominion of one over another; any leadership, any imposition of the will (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
How are we to account for the strange human craving for the pleasure of feeling afraid which is so much involved in our love of ghost stories? (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
For there is a virtue in truth; it has an almost mystic power. Like radium, it seems to give off forever and ever grains of energy, atoms of light (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
War is a man’s game... the killing machine has a gender and it is male (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
What is a woman? I assure you, I do not know... I do not believe that anybody can know until she has expressed herself in all the arts and professions open to human skill (Virginia Woolf Quotes)
