Mental fight means thinking against the current, not with it. It is our business to puncture gas bags and discover the seeds of truth.
From Virginia Woolf
For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.
Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.
Masterpieces are not single and solitary births; they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common, of thinking by the body of the people, so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice.
Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.
The telephone, which interrupts the most serious conversations and cuts short the most weighty observations, has a romance of its own.
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
Arrange whatever pieces come your way.
Language is wine upon the lips.
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.
