“Words were different when they lived inside of you.”
― Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

“When, however, one reads of a witch being ducked, of a woman possessed by devils, of a wise woman selling herbs, or even of a very remarkable man who had a mother, then I think we are on the track of a lost novelist, a suppressed poet, of some mute and inglorious Jane Austen, some Emily Bronte who dashed her brains out on the moor or mopped and mowed about the highways crazed with the torture that her gift had put her to. Indeed, 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

“Anyone who has the temerity to write about Jane Austen is aware of [two] facts: first, that of all great writers she is the most difficult to catch in the act of greatness; second, that there are twenty-five elderly gentlemen living in the neighbourhood of London who resent any slight upon her genius as if it were an insult to the chastity of their aunts.”
― Virginia Woolf , A Room of One’s Own

“Siempre he creído que existe una técnica muy sencilla a la hora de poder descubrir si la persona que está a tu lado es de verdad tu media naranja. El truco está en el tiempo. Lo sabes cuando, al estar con él, los días se transforman en horas, las horas en minutos y los minutos en segundos. Aunque sea científicamente imposible, el tiempo avanza a una velocidad diferente que cuando estás con otras personas. Todo pasa más rápido y no importa de cuánto dispongas, porque nunca parece suficiente, no llegas a sentirte jamás del todo satisfecho, siempre necesitas un poquito más y no estás dispuesto a conformarte.”
― Alice Kellen, Otra vez tú
