Famous quotes by elizabeth bowen:

    ...the power-loving temperament is more dangerous when it either prefers or is forced to operate in what is materially a void. We have everything to dread from the dispossessed.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    Ghosts seem harder to please than we are; it is as though they haunted for haunting’s sake—much as we relive, brood, and smoulder over our pasts.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
