Dawn Powell Quotes

A capacity for going overboard is a requisite for a full-grown mind Picture Quote #1

The basis of tragedy is man’s helplessness against disease, war and death; the basis of comedy is man’s helplessness against vanity (the vanity of love, greed, lust, power) Picture Quote #1

There is something more annoying than pleasant in finding neighbors from back home chiselling in on your own exclusive New York. It mitigates your triumph in having conquered the great city and brings home the ungratifying truth that anyone can do it Picture Quote #1

I want so much for my lover. At night when our beds are drawn close together I waken and see his dear yellow head on the pillow - sometimes his arm thrown over on my bed - and I kiss his hand, very softly so that it will not waken him Picture Quote #1

I think we will have a boy baby and he will be born on the 20th of August. Everyone else has a girl baby and at times I don’t believe I should mind having a little Phyllis Dawn but Dearest wants a boy and I do Picture Quote #1

A writer’s business is minding other people’s business... all the vices of the village gossip are the virtues of the writer Picture Quote #1

Rage swept over her at being young, young and little, as if some evil fairy had put that spell on her. Why must you be locked up in this dreadful cage of childhood for twenty or a hundred years? Nothing in life was possible unless you were old and rich, until then you were only small and futile before your tormentors, desperately waiting for the release that only years could bring Picture Quote #1

Hold fast to whatever fragments of love that exist, for sometimes a mosaic is more beautiful than an unbroken pattern Picture Quote #1

Yet better for one of my nature to have it that way than to have life a peaceful, placid flow of quiet contentment. I must have days of rushing excitement Picture Quote #1

Satire is people as they are; romanticism, people as they would like to be; realism, people as they seem with their insides left out Picture Quote #1
