Elizabeth Bowen
  • Pity the selfishness of lovers: it is brief, a forlorn hope it is impossible.

  • Jealousy is no more than feeling alone against smiling enemies.

  • When you love someone all your saved up wishes start coming out.

  • Autumn arrives in early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day.

  • Fantasy is toxic: the private cruelty and the world war both have their start in the heated brain.
