The whole of the mind must lie wide open if we are to get the sense that the writer is communicating his experience with perfect fullness.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“The writer operates at a peculiar crossroads where time and place and eternity somehow meet. His problem is to find that location.”
