Elizabeth Bowen

Fate is not an eagle, it creeps like a rat.

Nobody can be kinder than the narcissist while you react to life in his own terms.

No object is mysterious. The mystery is your eye.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
