Virginia Woolf

The world is a story, and we are the characters.

I am a whisper, and I am a shout.

The world is a canvas, and we are the painters.

I am a breath, and I am breathing.

The world is a garden, and we are the flowers.

I am a moment, and I am eternity.

The world is a journey, and we are the travelers.

I am a question, and I am an answer.

The world is a mirror, and we are the reflections.

I am a shadow, and I am a light.

I am a silence, and I am a sound.

The world is a mystery, and we are the seekers.

If we look at the world in the light of history, it seems a place of cruelty and injustice.

The public is a monster, and I am its prey.

I detest the masculine point of view. I am bored by it. I desire to escape from it.

The world is a machine. It is a machine that makes us into machines.

The mind is a strange machine, it works in secret, and it has its own laws.

The only way to write is to write what you want to write, and to hell with the public.

The world has changed, and we have changed with it. We are no longer the same people we were.

I am not a feminist if you mean by that a woman who wants to be like a man.
