Virginia Woolf Quotes

The Writer Seems Constrained, Not By His Own Free Will But By Some Powerful And Unscrupulous Tyrant Who Has Him In Thrall, To Provide A Plot, To Provide Comedy, Tragedy, Love Interest, And An Air Of Probability Embalming The Whole So Impeccable That If All His Figures Were To Come To Life Would Find Themselves Dressed Down To The Last Button Of Their Coats In The Fashion Of The Hour. The Tyrant Is Obeyed; The Novel Is Done To A Turn. But Sometimes, More And More Often As Time Goes By, We Suspect A Momentary Doubt, A Spasm Of Rebellion, As Pages Fill Themselves In The Customary Way. Is Life Like This? Must Novels Be Like This?
