"And since a novel has this correspondence to real life, its values are to some extent those of real life. But it is obvious that the values of women differ very often from the values which have been made by the other sex; naturally, this is so. Yet it is the masculine values that prevail. Speaking crudely, football and sport are „important”; the worship of fashion, the buying of clothes „trivial”. And these values are inevitably transferred from life to fiction. This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing-room. A scene in a battle-field is more important than a scene in a shop.."
(Virginia Woolf "A Room of One's Own", 1928)

"es domāju par tiem senajiem cilvēkiem.. par tiem, kas starp zvaigznēm redzēja līnijas.. kas redzēja tajās zvērus un ratus un ziedus.. kas savienoja debesiis punktiņus, kurus šķir bezgalīgas distances.. kas redzēja debessjumu kopumā sev virs galvas tik tuvu un ticēja, ka aiz tā var aizlikt karoti vai ka no tā var nocelt dažas ..un iespraust tās matos vai acīs vai turēt saujā vai ezerā..
šie cilvēki izdomāja vienkāršus instrumentus - divus krusteniskus kociņus salika kopā, paskatījās debesīs un pateica, cik tālu zvaigznes viena no otras atrodas, nedomājot par to, ka tas ir tālu..
es iedomājos tikai par to - vai mēs esam cēlušies no šiem cilvēkiem vai no mērkaķiem tomēr?"
(Virginia Rabbit, "Millions of my Best Friends", 2007)
"The impulse towards autobiography may be spent. She may be beginning to use writing as an art, not as a method of self-expression." (V.W., AROOO, 1928)) | |
