Quotes by Virginia Woolf

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.

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

Arrange whatever pieces come your way.

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

It's not catastrophes, murders, deaths, diseases, that age and kill us; it's the way people look and laugh, and run up the steps of omnibuses.

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.

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.

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

Yet, it is true, poetry is delicious; the best prose is that which is most full of poetry.

The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.
