Virginia Woolf on Writing and Self-Doubt

“Analysis taught me to think. Taught me to use my tendency to object to articulated ideas about my own ideas, taught me to use doubt, to examine my own speech for its evasions and excisions. The longer I withheld conclusion, the more I saw. I was learning, I believe, how to write as well.”
Louis Glück via Laura Marling

Is it nonsense or brilliance? Wrote Virginia Woolf in the margin of her own manuscript.
