Virginia Woolf: Literary Icon
"A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."
"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."
"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."
"For most of history, Anonymous was a woman."
"As long as she thinks of a man, nobody objects to a woman thinking."
"It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top."
