Baron Woolf

Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or woolf:

    Every thing secret degenerates, even the administration of justice; nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity.
    John Emerich Edward Dalberg, 1st Baron Acton (1834–1902)

    I am to be broken. I am to be derided all my life. I am to be cast up and down among these men and women, with their twitching faces, with their lying tongues, like a cork on a rough sea. Like a ribbon of weed I am flung far every time the door opens.
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
