More From Virginia Woolf
- "Masterpieces are not single and solitary births; they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common, of thinking by the body of the people, so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice."
- "The telephone, which interrupts the most serious conversations and cuts short the most weighty observations, has a romance of its own."
- "The history of men’s opposition to women’s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself."
More In Beauty
- "I am not a morning person. I like to sleep in."― Martha Plimpton
- "After a decade this glum, we deserved a shot of ‘Glee,’ a show that restored our faith in the power of song, the beauty of dance, and the magic of ‘spirit fingers’ to chase our cares and woes into somebody else’s backyard."― James Wolcott
- "I love Rauschenberg. I love that he created a turning point in visual history, that he redefined the idea of beauty, that he combined painting, sculpture, photography, and everyday life with such gall, and that he was interested in, as he put it, ‘the ability to conceive failure as progress.’"― Jerry Saltz
