Just right now found on Facebook. A coincedence!
“Why should I be bothering myself with questions which shall eternally remain unanswered? How queer that wave of agony; melancholy paralyzing my senses, beautifully, yet for nothing.”
— Virginia Woolf in a diary entry dated 5 July 1919

RE: [Vwoolf] VW quote
“I will not be ‘famous,’ ‘great.’
I will go on adventuring, changing, opening my mind and my eyes, refusing to be stamped and stereotyped. The thing is to free one’s self: to let it find its dimensions, not be impeded.”
— Virginia Woolf, A Writer’s Diary

Dear Leslie and all--
I once taught a freshman seminar on Woolf in which we studied the Hogarth Press's doings and the head of our Special Collections Library taught the students to print on the library's hand press. A favorite with the class was the "No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself" from A Room of One's Own.
Have fun,
Christine

Hello all, I'm designing a letterpress poster of Woolf's most beloved questions and wanted to open up my selection to the listserve.
Please send me questions from any of her works! I hope to have the broadside ready for the VW conference in British Columbia in June.
Looking forward to the avalanche of queries!
