"Because the Holy Ghost over the bent World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings."

Previous Quote

I have no patience with this dreadful idea that whatever you have in you has to come out, that you can't suppress true talent. People can be destroyed; they can be bent, distorted, and completely crippled. In spite of all the poetry, all the philosophy to the contrary, we are not really masters of our fate.

— Katherine Anne Porter
