“How are we fallen! fallen by mistaken rules,
And Education's more than Nature's fools;
Debarred from all improvements of the mind,

And if someone would soar above the rest,
With warmer fancy, and ambition pressed,
So strong the opposing faction still appears,
The hopes to thrive can ne'er outweigh the fears.”
― Lady Winchilsea

― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.”
