Odd how the creative power at...

Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

The older one grows, the more...

The older one grows, the more one likes indecency.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

The poet gives us his essence...

The poet gives us his essence, but prose takes the mold of the body and mind.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

This soul, or life within us,...

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 938 quotes

It seems as if an age of geni...

It seems as if an age of genius must be succeeded by an age of endeavour; riot and extravagance by cleanliness and hard work.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

Why are women... so much more...

Why are women... so much more interesting to men than men are to women?

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

As a woman I have no country....

As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

Each has his past shut in him...

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 938 quotes

Once conform, once do what ot...

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 938 quotes

The man who is aware of himse...

The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

I was in a queer mood, thinking myself very old: but now I am a woman again - as I always am when I write.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

These are the soul's changes....

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 938 quotes

If we help an educated man's ...

If we help an educated man's daughter to go to Cambridge are we not forcing her to think not about education but about war? - not how she can learn, but how she can fight in order that she might win the same advantages as her brothers?

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

If one could be friendly with...

If one could be friendly with women, what a pleasure - the relationship so secret and private compared with relations with men. Why not write about it truthfully?

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

I want the concentration and ...

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 938 quotes

Almost any biographer, if he ...

Almost any biographer, if he respects facts, can give us much more than another fact to add to our collection. He can give us the creative fact; the fertile fact; the fact that suggests and engenders.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

If you insist upon fighting t...

If you insist upon fighting to protect me, or 'our' country, let it be understood soberly and rationally between us that you are fighting to gratify a sex instinct which I cannot share; to procure benefits where I have not shared and probably will not share.
