DAY 35

A Room of One's Own

Virginia Woolf · 1929
A Room of One's Own
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

Do I have a physical and independent space where my soul can breathe freely?

📝ONGO's Reflection

"A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." I will never forget the shock of first encountering that line. Woolf points out, with a cool clarity, how invisible creativity and spiritual freedom are paradoxically bound to material independence. Her voice, tracing why Shakespeare's gifted sister would inevitably have vanished from history, resonates deeply with everyone who longs to stand whole as themselves.

— ONGO · Curator
"Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind."
Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own
"도서관 문을 자물쇠로 채워도 좋습니다. 하지만 내 마음의 자유에 채울 수 있는 문이나 자물쇠나 빗장은 없습니다."
