Bowen

Famous quotes containing the word bowen:

“... it appears to me that problems, inherent in any writing, loom unduly large when one looks ahead. Though nothing is easy, little is quite impossible.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

“The writer, unlike his non-writing adult friend, has no predisposed outlook; he seldom observes deliberately. He sees what he did not intend to see; he remembers what does not seem wholly possible. Inattentive learner in the schoolroom of life, he keeps some faculty free to veer and wander. His is the roving eye.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

“Nothing can happen nowhere. The locale of the happening always colours the happening, and often, to a degree, shapes it.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
