As long as she thinks of a man, nobody objects to a woman thinking.
-Virginia Woolf, Orlando
(via useless-girlrage)
“A woman knows very well that, though a wit sends her his poems, praises her judgment, solicits her criticism, and drinks her tea, this by no means signifies that he respects her opinions, admires her understanding, or will refuse, though the rapier is denied him, to run through the body with his pen.”
—Virginia Woolf, Orlando

“When the body escaped mutilation, seldom did the heart go to the grave unscarred.” ― Virginia Woolf, Jacob’s Room
