Virginia Woolf Quotes

Somehow The Fact That Only Three Or Four Hundred Years Ago These Skeletons Had Been Men With Their Way To Make In The World Like Any Modern Upstart, And That They Had Made It By Acquiring Houses And Offices, Garters And Ribbands, As Any Other Upstart Does, While Poets, Perhaps, And Men Of Great Mind And Breeding Had Preferred The Quietude Of The Country, For Which Choice They Paid The Penalty By Extreme Poverty, And Now Hawked Broadsheets In The Strand, Or Herded Sheep In The Fields, Filled Her With Remorse.
