The Persecuted In Purgatory: Wise Women Laugh Last "When, however, one reads of a witch being ducked, of a woman possessed by devils, of a wise woman selling herbs, or even of a very remarkable man who had a mother, then I think we are on the track of a lost novelist, a suppressed poet, of some mute and inglorious Jane Austen, some Emily Bronte who dashed her brains out on the moor or mopped and mowed about the highways crazed with the torture that her gift had put her to. Indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman." - Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own All the heroes of tomorrow are the heretics of today. - E.Y. Harburg The world is kept alive only by heretics: the heretic Christ, the heretic Copernicus, the heretic Tolstoy. Our symbol of faith is heresy. (“Tomorrow”) - Yevgeny Zamyatin If we have no heretics we must invent them, for heresy is essential to health and growth. - Yevgeny Zamyatin #wisewoman #wisewomen #witch #theinquisition #persecution #heretic #art #artist #illustration #illustrator #digitalpainting #drawing #mixedmedia
