And a bit further down the page from Jody’s quote—
but – girls? Are girls necessary?

It's a bit lengthy for a poster, but this passage from Orlando immediately
came to mind when you asked for quotable questions:
She was married, true; but if one’s husband was always sailing round Cape
Horn, was it marriage? If one liked him, was it marriage? If one liked other
people, was it marriage? And finally, if one still wished, more than
anything in the whole world, to write poetry, was it marriage? She had her
doubts.
I'd love to see the finished posters--are you planning to sell them, and if
so, will they be available to those of us who can't make it to the
conference?
Best,
Jody

Here's one more, from Jacob's Room:
"Either we are men, or we are women. Either we are
cold, or we are sentimental. Either we are young, or growing old. In any
case life is but a procession of shadows, and God knows why it is that
we embrace them so eagerly, and see them depart with such anguish, being
shadows. And why, if this--and much more than this is true, why are we
yet surprised in the window corner by a sudden vision that the young man
in the chair is of all things in the world the most real, the most
solid, the best known to us--why indeed?"

anybody but oneself" from A Room of One's Own.
