"I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong." -Bertrand Russel

Like a sir Lady!

An argument that Virginia Woolf makes that i do not agree with is (maybe I'm not understanding this concept right) but the thing about fiction being attached to the reality and can only speak of reality seems kind of weird to me. If she means that writers can only right reality then who is going to come up with the unimaginable? People need to find something to look forward too like the flying cars and stuff.

What i most agree on is the fact that people need to write the truth. But then again what is the truth? The truth is different for all people so no one knows what is the truth. And now I sound all philosophical.

Here are some quotes I liked from the book. Enjoy!
  1. "'Wise men never say what they think of women' Wise men never say anything else apparently."
  2. " I need not hate men; he cannot hurt me. I need not flatter any man; he has nothing to give me"
  3. "Great bodies of people are never responsible for what they do"

    I also agree with writers having to write the truth but then again no one really knows the truth but writers should try to not write in anger as much

    Yes, i agree with the thing about truth as well. Who knows what truth is? we all have our own opinions on what it is.

    I don't really think it means reality as in the way the world literally is around us but more on the morals of people and the effects their actions can have on others. But then again i can always be wrong.

    You are right we are not even aware of what is the truth in her story. Well its nice when a story is attached to reality because then we as readers can connect with the story which then makes the story a good one.
