No sooner have you feasted on beauty with your eyes than you... - Virginia Woolf

"Never let anybody guess that you have a mind of your own. Above all be pure"

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

"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."

"Writing is like sex. First you do it for love, then you do it for your friends, and then you do it for money."

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