Virginia Stephen, 1908
by Francis Dodd

 

"Perhaps that is their most striking peculiarity - their need of change.  It is because the truth they try to catch is many-sided, and they convey it by being themselves many-sided, flashing this way, then that. Thus they mean one thing to one person, another thing to another person; they are unintelligible to one generation, plain as a pikestaff to the next.  And it is because of this complexity that they survive."

- From Virginia Woolf's  "Craftsmanship"
