ioana_cis 's review for:
A Room of One's Own
by Virginia Woolf
Love it! Why? Because even after so many years her question and still relevant, the answers she discovers are still present. Crazy to think we are still full over it.
“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.”
“A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.”
"Now my belief is that this poet who never wrote a word and was buried at the crossroads still lives. She lives in you and in me, and in many other women who are not here tonight, for they are washing up the dishes and putting the children to bed."
“when I ask you to earn money and have a room of your own, I am asking you to live in the presence of reality, an invigorating life, it would appear, whether one can impart it or not.”
“but what was surprising and difficult of explanation was the fact that sex—woman, that is to say—also attracts agreeable essayists, light-fingered novelists, young men who have taken the M.A. degree; men who have taken no degree; men who have no apparent qualification save that they are not women.”
"Have you any notion how many books are written [by men] about women in the course of one year?" "Are you aware that you are, perhaps, the most discussed animal in the universe? "
“Why did men drink wine and women water? Why was one sex so prosperous and the other so poor? What effect has poverty on fiction? What conditions are necessary for the creation of works of art?”
