—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“Unresolved dissonances between the characters and dispositions of the parents continue to reverberate in the nature of the child and make up the history of its inner sufferings.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“There are as many characters in men
As there are shapes in nature.”
