The New Dress - Virginia Woolf

This quote was added by priscilladay
And at once the misery which she always tried to hide, the profound dissatisfaction - the sense she had had, ever since she was a child, of being inferior to other people - set upon her, relentlessly, remorselessly, with an intensity which she could not beat off, as she would when she woke at night at home, by reading Borrow or Scott; for oh these men, oh these women, all were thinking - "What's Mabel wearing? What a fright she looks! What a hideous new dress!"
