Quote_1.png
Donna Grant

"There is only a perspective seeing, only a perspective "knowing"; and the more affects we allow to speak about one thing, the more eyes, different eyes, we can use to observe one thing, the more complete will our "concept" of this thing, our "objectivity," be."

Donna Grant

"Knowledge is as infinite as the universe. The man who claims to know all, only reveals to all that he really knows nothing."

Virginia Woolf
"What has seven editions (the book had already gone into no less) got to do with the value of it? Was not writing poetry a secret transaction, a voice answering a voice? So that all this chatter and praise and blame and meeting people who admired one and meeting people who did not admire one was as ill suited as could be to the thing itself - a voice answering a voice."

Virginia Woolf
"Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman."
Quote_1.png
Virginia Woolf
"If woman had no existence save in the fiction written by men one would imagine her a person of the utmost importance very various heroic and mean splendid and sordid infinitely beautiful and hideous in the extreme as great as a man some think even better."

Virginia Woolf
"Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame."
Quote_1.png
Virginia Woolf
"There can be no two opinions as to what a highbrow is. He is the man or woman of thoroughbred intelligence who rides his mind at a gallop across country in pursuit of an idea."
Quote_1.png
Virginia Woolf
"It seems that a profound, impartial, and absolutely just opinion of our fellow-creatures is utterly unknown. Either we are men, or we are women. Either we are cold, or we are sentimental. Either we are young, or growing old. In any case life is but a procession of shadows, and God knows why it is that we embrace them so eagerly, and see them depart with such anguish, being shadows. And why, if this - and much more than this is true - why are we yet surprised in the window corner by a sudden vision that the young man in the chair is of all things in the world the most real, the most solid, the best known to us-why indeed? For the moment after we know nothing about him.Such is the manner of our seeing. Such the conditions of our love."

Virginia Woolf
"The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages."

Virginia Woolf
"Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life."
Quote_1.png
Virginia Woolf
"To whom can I expose the urgency of my own passion? There is nobody-here among these grey arches, and moaning pigeons, and cheerful games and tradition and emulation, all so skilfully organised to prevent feeling alone."

Virginia Woolf
"You send a boy to school in order to make friends - the right sort."
