Writing a story or a novel is one way of discovering sequence in experience, of stumbling upon cause and effect in the happenings of a writers own life. – Eudora Welty
Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads, how to follow, how to connect, find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists. – Eudora Welty
Through travel I first became aware of the outside world it was through travel that I found my own introspective way into becoming a part of it. – Eudora Welty
The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy. – Eudora Welty
