To look life in the face, always, to look life in the face,... - Virginia Woolf

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

"Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others."

"The beauty of the world...has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder."

"No sooner have you feasted on beauty with your eyes than your mind tells you that beauty is vain and beauty passes"

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