Famous quotes by elizabeth bowen:

    There is no end to the violations committed by children on children, quietly talking alone.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    The heart may think it knows better: the senses know that absence blots people out. We really have no absent friends. The friend becomes a traitor by breaking, however unwillingly or sadly, out of our own zone: a hard judgment is passed on him, for all the pleas of the heart.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
