Virginia Woolf


A masterpiece is something said once and for all, stated, finished, so that it's there complete in the mind, if only at the back.
Virginia Woolf

A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.
Virginia Woolf

Arrange whatever pieces come your way.
Virginia Woolf

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

Boredom is the legitimate kingdom of the philanthropic.
Virginia Woolf

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

Every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind is written large in his works.
Virginia Woolf

Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.
Virginia Woolf

For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.
Virginia Woolf

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?
Virginia Woolf

Great bodies of people are never responsible for what they do.
Virginia Woolf

Humor is the first of the gifts to perish in a foreign tongue.
Virginia Woolf

I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.
Virginia Woolf

I read the book of Job last night, I don't think God comes out well in it.
Virginia Woolf

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

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

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

If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.
Virginia Woolf

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

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

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

It is far more difficult to murder a phantom than a reality.
Virginia Woolf

It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.
Virginia Woolf

It is the nature of the artist to mind excessively what is said about him. Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.
Virginia Woolf

Language is wine upon the lips.
Virginia Woolf

Let a man get up and say, Behold, this is the truth, and instantly I perceive a sandy cat filching a piece of fish in the background. Look, you have forgotten the cat, I say.
Virginia Woolf

Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.
Virginia Woolf

Mental fight means thinking against the current, not with it. It is our business to puncture gas bags and discover the seeds of truth.
Virginia Woolf

My own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery - always buzzing, humming, soaring roaring diving, and then buried in mud. And why? What's this passion for?
Virginia Woolf

Nothing has really happened until it has been recorded.
Virginia Woolf

Nothing induces me to read a novel except when I have to make money by writing about it. I detest them.
Virginia Woolf

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

On the outskirts of every agony sits some observant fellow who points.
Virginia Woolf

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

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

One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.
Virginia Woolf

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

Really I don't like human nature unless all candied over with art.
Virginia Woolf

Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame.
Virginia Woolf

Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life.
Virginia Woolf

Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more.
Virginia Woolf

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

That great Cathedral space which was childhood.
Virginia Woolf

The beautiful seems right by force of beauty, and the feeble wrong because of weakness.
Virginia Woolf

The beauty of the world, which is so soon to perish, has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.
Virginia Woolf

The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.
Virginia Woolf

The older one grows, the more one likes indecency.
Virginia Woolf

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

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

The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.
Virginia Woolf

There can be no two opinions as to what a highbrow is. He is the man or woman of thoroughbred intelligence who rides his mind at a gallop across country in pursuit of an idea.
Virginia Woolf

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

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

This is not writing at all. Indeed, I could say that Shakespeare surpasses literature altogether, if I knew what I meant.
Virginia Woolf

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

To depend upon a profession is a less odious form of slavery than to depend upon a father.
Virginia Woolf

To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves.
Virginia Woolf

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

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

When the shriveled skin of the ordinary is stuffed out with meaning, it satisfies the senses amazingly.
Virginia Woolf

Where the Mind is biggest, the Heart, the Senses, Magnanimity, Charity, Tolerance, Kindliness, and the rest of them scarcely have room to breathe.
Virginia Woolf

Who shall measure the hat and violence of the poet's heart when caught and tangled in a woman's body?
Virginia Woolf

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

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

Yet it is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.
Virginia Woolf

You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
Virginia Woolf

You send a boy to school in order to make friends - the right sort.
Virginia Woolf
