"Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order. I can see the day whole, proportioned—even after a long flutter of the brain such as I’ve had this morning it must be a physical, moral, mental necessity, like setting the engine off….I have to some extent forced myself to break every mold and find a fresh form of being, that is of expression, for everything I feel or think. So that when it is working I get the sense of being fully energized—nothing stunted.”—Virginia Woolf, diary entry for July 27, 1934, excerpted in Revelations: Diaries of Women, edited by Mary Jane Moffat and Charlotte Painter
