"Colm Toibin is really great at channeling James's writing voice. I'm slightly worried, though, because I find myself wanting to forget that it's fiction. The interweaving of autobiography makes things tricky." Jun 05, 2011 04:46PM

Jean Rhys
“I took the red dress down and put it against myself. 'Does it make me look intemperate and unchaste?' I said.”
Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea

Jean Rhys
“Now at last I know why I was brought here and what I have to do.”
Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea

Charlotte Brontë
“It was my time to assume ascendency. My powers were in-play and in force. I told him to forbear question or remark; I desired him to leave me: I must and would be alone. He obeyed at once. Where there is energy to command well enough, obedience never fails.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Virginia Woolf
“a good dinner is of great importance to good talk. One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.”
Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

Virginia Woolf
“A very elementary exercise in psychology, not to be dignified by the name of psycho-analysis, showed me, on looking at my notebook, that the sketch of the angry professor had been made in anger. Anger had snatched my pencil while I dreamt. But what was anger doing there? Interest, confusion, amusement, boredom--all these emotions I could trace and name as they succeeded each other throughout the morning. Had anger, the black snake, been lurking among them? Yes, said the sketch, anger had.”
Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own
