Quotes of Virginia Woolf: My top 3 quotes.

 My favorites three quotation…..

(1)   "They can because they think they can."


 In this quote tells about so many things, but say about self-confidence is necessary in your life. Before doing determination and self confidence is necessary.



(2)   "Never pretend that the things you haven't got are not worth having."



  We pretend the that and blame things that this is not important. But Woolf  believes that we shouldn’t say that I don’t like things which I
haven’t.



(3) "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."

 A room of her own means total freedom & enough money, free to use the way she want. In this quote talk about the Victorian woman mindset they all are read secretly example -shows hard ship woman in society it demands freedom from patriarchy,

Threats to Creativity and Freedom of Expression

This is controversial issue that whether Rajnikant should play role of Aurangzeb or not. And second is sensitive issue because of religion. But i strongly believe that art and artist should be free from that. There should be no limit on artist on the name of religion. because after all art survives. History has proved that religious leaders were wrong. Their imposed banned were misleading. Baning will never bring good thing in society. Art is beautiful medium to connect people. What is wrong in just playing role of the person?. It shouldnt happen.

It is not good idea to believe  that Aurangzeb was anti hindu, so one can not play role of him. History may be imperfect in portraying him completely wrong way. So there is nothing wrong in playing role .

Ancient V/S Modern

     This is a long debated question that which is best. But i think that both are interdependent. Both are true to their time. Ancient are role model for modern writer that how to write. on the other hand it is difficult to follow other. This kills individuality by following other. Because of Ancient modern writer have many advantages also. Because they have written nearly about all the subjects. Ancient are great because they have pass the exam of time. After many years they are still alive because of their works. on the other hand modern are also experimenting and creating something new which was not done by writers of past. So both are important. Today's modern will be ancient  in time to come and today's ancient were once modern.

How Literature shaped me

I am studying literature since five years. It  has played very important role in my life. I have learn so many things from books. I like reading plays & novels. It gives me aesthetic delight, pleasure.

But it is not only for entertainment. Books teaches us so many things. It gives better perspective to understand the society in far better way.


In the beginning of B.A. i was struggling with books to understand it. But books are trully great treasure to open up & absorb the invaluable thing it has. Ghasiram Kotwal, The Bluest Eye, Far From Madding crowd, Name Sake are some of my favourite books, which i enjoyed reading as well studying.


Texts of M.A.  like Hamlet, Faustus, Paradise Lost, To the Lighthouse,Sense and Sensibility, Tom Jones, Middlemarch, Oliver Twist, Waiting for Godot, The Birthday Party,  Gullivers Travels etc covers wide range of subjects like Love, hatred, betrayal, revenge, marriage, Existentialism, power and politics, criticism on downsides of humanbeings, poverty, issue of money and heritage, patriarchy, place of women in society, good versus evil and so many other things.


Namesake gave me vision to understand what is Diasporic sensibilities. Through The Bluest eye i can visualise suffering of Black people and entire issue of Racism.


ON@TCC, The White Tiger, The Da vinci code and The Sense of an Ending kind of modern texts i enjoyed more. Because whatever is narrated in books, that i can see happening in and around us. Whether its religious controversy or Globalization, changing morality or newer problems. I can read and understand society in better way.


After studying various characters, i have got ability to understand human nature in better way. Though human nature in unpredictable, i can understand other's mentality & behaviour.

Books are the best source to develop your self this is what now i believe.
