[Vwoolf] VW "quotes"

[Stuart N. Clarke]

RE: [Vwoolf] VW quoteI suppose we can all do this sort of thing:

About another unwelcome visitor: “. . . meretricious, cheap, hard, with ideas like a string of beads from Woolworths.” (Diary)

>From almost any Woolf novel: “She turned from the china cabinet with a cup in her hand.  The windows blazed.  She was filled with rapture.”

>From “The Years”: “The bugles on her dress glittered in the candlelight.  Was that the nineteenth century? Martin wondered.  Was that all it was?”

It’s getting worse!  I have never heard of this quote either!  How often did VW write “paralysing” with a ZED?

      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

        “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!
