Quote by Virginia Woolf

In brain and insight she is not as highly organised as I am. But then she is aware of this, and so lavishes on me the maternal protection which, for some reason, is what I have always most wished from everyone.

In brain and insight she is not as highly organised as I am.

Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker views themselves as more mentally organized and insightful compared to someone else. However, despite this difference, the other person acknowledges and accepts this imbalance, providing the speaker with the motherly protection and care they always desired from others. It highlights the speaker's longing for nurturing and support, trusting in the other person to fill that role despite their perceived intellectual superiority.
