5 Quotes by Molly Keane

Yes, we'll have to put a stop to this bookworming. No future in that.

Once I was looking through the kitchen window at dusk and I saw an old woman looking in. Suddenly the light changed and I realized that the old woman was myself. you see, it all happens on the outside; inside one doesn’t change.

Yes, we’ll have to put a stop to this bookworming. No future in that.

I stood about, smiling, compressed, submerged in politeness; aching in my isolation; longing to be alone; to be away; to be tomorrow’s person.

Certainty fell away from me as though a loved person dropped my hand in indifference.
