Virginia Woolf
“I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.”
Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

Philip Pullman
“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”
Philip Pullman

Jeanette Winterson
“I had no one to help me, but the T. S. Eliot helped me.

So when people say that poetry is a luxury, or an option, or for the educated middle classes, or that it shouldn’t be read at school because it is irrelevant, or any of the strange stupid things that are said about poetry and its place in our lives, I suspect that the people doing the saying have had things pretty easy. A tough life needs a tough language – and that is what poetry is. That is what literature offers – a language powerful enough to say how it is.

It isn’t a hiding place. It is a finding place.”
Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?

Patti Smith
“Not all dreams need to be realized. That was what Fred used to say. We accomplished things that no one would ever know.”
Patti Smith, M Train

Joan Didion
“We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”
Joan Didion, The White Album
