—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”

“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death.
