Virginia Woolf: "Seorang wanita tahu betul bahwa, meskipun kecerdasan...

"Seorang wanita tahu betul bahwa, meskipun kecerdasan mengiriminya puisinya, memuji penilaiannya, mengumpulkan kritiknya, dan minum tehnya, ini sama sekali tidak menandakan bahwa ia menghormati pendapatnya, mengagumi pemahamannya, atau akan menolak, meskipun rapier ditolaknya, untuk menjalankan melalui tubuh dengan pena."

--- Virginia Woolf

Versi Bahasa Inggris

A woman knows very well that, though a wit sends her his poems, praises her judgment, solicits her criticism, and drinks her tea, this by no means signifies that he respects her opinions, admires her understanding, or will refuse, though the rapier is denied him, to run through the body with his pen.
