Famous quotes by elizabeth bowen:
“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)
“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)
