“If writers were too wise, perhaps no books would get written at all. It might be better to ask yourself “Why?” afterwards than before. Anyway, the force from somewhere in Space which commands you to write in the first place, gives you no choice. You take up the pen when you are told, and write what is commanded. There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside you.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“The history of men’s opposition to women’s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“To survive it is often necessary to fight and to fight you have to dirty yourself.”

—Storm Jameson (1891–1986)
“If they be two, they are two so
As stiff twin compasses are two;

To move, but doth if th’ other do.”

And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?”
