a life dedicated to pleasure and poetry

'All women together, ought to let flowers fall upon the grave of Aphra Behn... for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds.'
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

"Writing is like sex. First you do it for love, then you do it for your friends, and then you do it for money."

"For most of history, Anonymous was a woman."

"When you consider things like the stars, our affairs don't seem to matter very much, do they?"

"I am rooted, but I flow."

"There was a star riding through clouds one night, & I said to the star, 'Consume me'."

"Second hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack."

"A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."
