... it's been a perpetual discovery, my life. A miracle.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

Life without illusion is a ghostly affair.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

Our friends - how distant, ho...

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 938 quotes

I really don't advise a woman...

I really don't advise a woman who wants to have things her own way to get married

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

But words have been used too ...

But words have been used too often; touched and turned, and left exposed to the dust of the street. The words we seek hang close to the tree. We come at dawn and find them sweet beneath the leaf.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

Style is a very simple matter...

Style is a very simple matter; it is all rhythm. Once you get that, you can't use the wrong words. But on the other hand here am I sitting after half the morning, crammed with ideas, and visions, and so on, and can't dislodge them, for lack of the right rhythm. Now this is very profound, what rhythm is, and goes far deeper than any words. A sight, an emotion, creates this wave in the mind, long before it makes words to fit it.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

But I don't think of the futu...

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 938 quotes

We live in constant danger of coming apart. The mystery of why we do not always come apart is the animating tension of all art.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

The mind which is most capabl...

The mind which is most capable of receiving impressions is very often the least capable of drawing conclusions.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

I am made and remade continua...

I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

Second hand books are wild bo...

Second hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

Yield to that strange passion...

Yield to that strange passion which sends you madly whirling round the room.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

In solitude we give passionat...

In solitude we give passionate attention to our lives, to our memories, to the details around us.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

No need to hurry. No need to ...

No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

Incessant company is as bad as solitary confinement.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

Above all you must illumine y...

Above all you must illumine your own soul with its profundities and its shallows, and its vanities and its generosities, and say what your beauty means to you or your plainness, and what is your relation to the ever-changing and turning world.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

How many times have people us...

How many times have people used a pen or paintbrush because they couldn’t pull the trigger?

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

Lock up your libraries if you...

Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.

Virginia Woolf 938 quotes

By the truth we are undone. Life is a dream. 'Tis the waking that kills us. He who robs us of our dreams robs us of our life.
