For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.
Women have served all these centuries as looking-glasses possessing the magic and delicious power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.
Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.
A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.
If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.
As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
