Famous quotes containing the words elizabeth bowen and/or bowen:

    Almost everyone admits to hunger during the Opera.... Hunger is so exalting that during a last act you practically levitate.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    Solitary and farouche people don’t have relationships; they are quite unrelatable. If you and I were capable of being altogether house-trained and made jolly, we should be nicer people, but not writers.
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
