Masterpieces are not single a...

Masterpieces are not single and solitary births; they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common, of thinking by the body of the people, so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice.

One has to secrete a jelly in which to slip quotations down people's throats - and one always secretes too much jelly.

We are nauseated by the sight of trivial personalities decomposing in the eternity of print.

A good essay must have this permanent quality about it; it must draw its curtain round us, but it must be a curtain that shuts us in not out.

Virginia Woolf

Somewhere, everywhere, now hi...

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?

Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.

For what Harley Street specialist has time to understand the body, let alone the mind or both in combination, when he is a slave to thirteen thousand a year?

The telephone, which interrupts the most serious conversations and cuts short the most weighty observations, has a romance of its own.

Indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.

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.

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.

I want the concentration and the romance, and the worlds all glued together, fused, glowing: have no time to waste any more on prose.

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?

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?

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.
