Famous quotes by 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 (1882–1941)
“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 (1882–1941)
“Really I don’t like human nature unless all candied over with art.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“There is no room for the impurities of literature in an essay.... the essay must be pure—pure like water or pure like wine, but pure from dullness, deadness, and deposits of extraneous matter.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“Each had his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart; and his friends could only read the title, James Spalding, or Charles Budgeon, and the passengers going the opposite way could read nothing at all—save ‘a man with a red moustache,’ ‘a young man in grey smoking a pipe.’”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
