“I became, and remain, my characters’ close and intent watcher: their director, never. Their creator I cannot feel that I was, or am.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“Nothing could be so beautiful, so smart, so well drilled as the two armies. Trumpets, fifes, oboes, drums, cannons formed a harmony such as was never heard in hell.... Candide, trembling like a philosopher, hid himself as best he could during this heroic butchery.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
