From 'Mrs. Dalloway'
From ‘Mrs. Dalloway’ by Virginia Woolf, I’ll try to take the idea that everyone’s a critic, and no matter what I write, I won’t write something that is universally enjoyed. Virginia Woolf is a staple in the realm of classic literature authors. She’s a very well-known, established writer, but, of course, not everyone is going to love her work. ‘Mrs. Dalloway’ isn’t the most exciting, thrilling novel, but it significantly added to literature as a whole, and has to be read and appreciated for what it is, even if it’s not particularly enjoyed. I would obviously love if everything I wrote somehow became gold, and everybody loved it, but that is of course, absurd. I hope to take away the view that what I write won’t be for everybody, and that's okay.
“Love and religion! thought Clarissa, going back into the drawing room, tingling all over. How detestable, how detestable they are!”
--Virginia Woolf, 'Mrs. Dalloway'
