10. Famous Quotes "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." “As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.” “Every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind is written large in his works. “Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.”
