Bowen

Famous quotes containing the word bowen:

    The charm, one might say the genius of memory, is that it is choosy, chancy, and temperamental: it rejects the edifying cathedral and indelibly photographs the small boy outside, chewing a hunk of melon in the dust.
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    Almost everybody wore a curious limpidity of expression, like newborn babies or souls just after death. Dazed but curiously dignified.... after a crise ... of hysterical revulsion and tiredness, I passed beyond ... and became entered by a rather sublime feeling.
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    Education is not so important as people think.
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
