About this title

Synopsis

"The indifference of the world which Keats and Flaubert and other men of genius have found so hard to bear was in her case [the woman writer's] not indifference but hostility. The world did not say to her as it said to them, Write if you choose; it makes no difference to me. The world said with a guffaw, Write? What's the good of your writing?" - Virginia Woolf ('A Room of One's Own')

--
"The immense success of our life is, I think, that our treasure is hid away; or rather in such common things that nothing can touch it." - Virginia Woolf ('The Diary of Virginia Woolf')
