"As a woman I have no country...." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“That perhaps is your task--to find the relation between things that seem incompatible yet have a mysterious affinity, to absorb every experience that comes your way fearlessly and saturate it completely so that your poem is a whole, not a fragment; to re-think human life into poetry and so give us tragedy again and comedy by means of characters not spun out at length in the novelist's way, but condensed and synthesized in the poet's way--that is what we look to you to do now.”

“Nothing is stronger than the position of the dead among the living.”

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

“To be a woman is something so strange, so confusing and so complicated that only a woman could put up with it.”

“One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I'm a woman. That is the way all females should feel.”

“A beautiful woman is a practical poet, taming her savage mate, planting tenderness, hope and eloquence in all whom she approaches.”

“I'm just a little bit sicker then the average individual I think.”

“Frequently my life has been likened to a Greek tragedy, and the actress in me cannot deny that comparison.”

“If I'd found out that Norman Mailer liked me. I'd have killed myself.”
