"What do you think is probably the happiest moment in one's whole life? I think it's the moment when one is walking in one's garden, perhaps picking a few dead flowers, and then suddenly one thinks: My husband lives in that house - and he loves me."

Diverse forme d‘arte che convivono e si influenzano a vicenda. Dalla letteratura al cinema passando per la pittura. Osservare scene esterna alla nostra vita per meglio comprenderla. -

Mein persönliches "Buch des Sommers" ist "Die Wellen" von Virginia Woolf.
Mein erster Versuch das Buch wie einen Roman zu lesen ist gescheitert. Jetzt lese ich langsam und nicht mehr als 20 Seiten am Stück. Ich lese mehr oder weniger meditativ, mache Pausen und lasse das Gelesene auf mich wirken. Dabei erfahre ich auch einiges über mich selbst und meine Lebensabschnitte. Man muß sich darauf einlassen, dann ist es ein empfehlenswertes Buch.

From the British Fantasy Society:
In his new essay series on queer horror, Bronte Rowan dives into Virginia Woolf’s 1928 text Orlando, and discovers sexuality, gender and time are fluid—and so are we!

[Ed note: Bronte did submit this in time for Pride, but I dropped the ball and am very sorry]

Virginia Woolf, da Una stanza tutta per sé, 1929
Consentitemi di immaginare, dal momento che i fatti sono così difficili a ottenersi, che cosa sarebbe accaduto se Shakespeare avesse avuto una sorella meravigliosamente dotata, chiamata Judith, poniamo … https://cctm.website/la-sorella-di-shakespeare/

"Then, for that moment, she had an illumination; a match burning in a crocus; an inner meaning almost expressed."

Lese zwischendurch immer mal wieder ein paar Seiten "Das Tagebuch einer Schriftstellerin" von #VirginiaWoolf und staune über das enorme Lesepensum dieser Frau.
Wenn ich doch davon wenigstens ein Viertel schaffen würde...
Aber es stimmt schon: Rentner haben keine Zeit - das kann ich bestätigen.#lesen #bookstodon #buch #tagebuch #buchtipp #rentnerleben #liesmalwieder

“I feel like more and more I come to loathe any dominion of one over another; any leadership, any imposition of the will. Is it chiefly intellectual snobbery that makes me dislike most people? I don’t know. I know that I am full of anger.” - #VirginiaWoolf

“How much better is #silence; the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself.” - #VirginiaWoolf

It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Who is the author with more works in the Guardian’s list of 100 greatest novels of all time?
The Guardian made a list of the 100 greatest novels of all time. You can see the list here, with links to how Guardian’s made it. First place of the list is George Eliot with Middlemarch, but I thought to check which authors had more works in this list. And it’s Virginia Woolf with five books!
Second place in the number of the novels in the list are Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, both with four books.
Best part? There all in public domain, so you want to start with any of these four authors, right here, right now, head to Project Gutenberg and let’s read!
Books by George Eliot – https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/90
Books by Virginia Woolf – https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/89
Books by Jane Austen – https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/68

“But there is another way of fighting for freedom without arms; we can fight with the mind…women of ability are held down because of a subconscious Hitlerism in the hearts of men.”
Virginia Woolf from her essay “Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid,” referencing men favoring oppression of women over survival in the war against the Nazis.

A Room of One's Own.
“Suppose, for instance, that men were only represented in literature as the lovers of women, and were never the friends of men, soldiers, thinkers, dreamers; how few parts in the plays of Shakespeare could be allotted to them; how literature would suffer! ...--literature would be incredibly impoverished, as indeed literature is impoverished beyond our counting by the doors that have been shut upon women.”

This evening's viewing: Queen Tilda Swinton in Orlando, adapted from the Virginia Woolf novel.
I think this was my introduction to Sally Potter's work, coming out when I was a student & the Filmhouse was broadening my #film lore (it still is).
