"When I am grown up I shall..." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“I will achieve in my life - Heaven grant that it be not long - some gigantic amalgamation between the two discrepancies so hideously apparent to me. Out of my suffering I will do it. I will knock. I will enter.”

“Her life was a tissue of vanity and deceit.”

“Lord, how tired one gets of one's own writing.”

“Books should stand on their own feet ... If they need shoring up by a preface here, an introduction there, they have no more right to exist than a table that needs a wad of paper under one leg in order to stand steady.”

“Most of the note-taking happens while I'm watching television. It's a broad window on the world, and a lot of things are already established in my mind as things I say, things that I'm interested in, things that are fodder for my [stand-up] machine. And when I see something that relates to one of them, I know it instantly and if it's a further exaggeration and a further addition, or an exception - if it plays into furthering my purpose, I jot it down.”

“A pen is to me as a beak is to a hen.”

“Life's aspirations come in the guise of children.”

“A dollar might turn to a million and we all rich that's just how i feel”

“To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.”
