Virginia Woolf: Citáty anglicky

“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.”

Virginia Woolf kniha A Room of One's Own

Zdroj: A Room of One's Own (1929), Ch. 1, p. 18
Kontext: The human frame being what it is, heart, body and brain all mixed together, and not contained in separate compartments as they will be no doubt in another million years, a good dinner is of great importance to good talk. One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.

“Examine for a moment an ordinary mind on an ordinary day.”

Virginia Woolf The Common Reader

"Modern Fiction"
The Common Reader (1925)
Kontext: Examine for a moment an ordinary mind on an ordinary day. The mind receives a myriad impressions — trivial, fantastic, evanescent, or engraved with the sharpness of steel. From all sides they come, an incessant shower of innumerable atoms; and as they fall, as they shape themselves into the life of Monday or Tuesday, the accent falls differently from of old; the moment of importance came not here but there; so that, if a writer were a free man and not a slave, if he could write what he chose, not what he must, if he could base his work upon his own feeling and not upon convention, there would be no plot, no comedy, no tragedy, no love interest or catastrophe in the accepted style, and perhaps not a single button sewn on as the Bond Street tailors would have it. Life is not a series of gig-lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end. Is it not the task of the novelist to convey this varying, this unknown and uncircumscribed spirit, whatever aberration or complexity it may display, with as little mixture of the alien and external as possible? We are not pleading merely for courage and sincerity; we are suggesting that the proper stuff of fiction is a little other than custom would have us believe it.

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

Virginia Woolf kniha A Room of One's Own

Very often misquoted as "For most of history, Anonymous was a woman."
Varianta: Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.

“The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.”
