More quotes by Eudora Welty
What we know about writing the novel is the novel.
Eudora Welty
Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories.
Eudora Welty
I believe in it, and I trust it too and treasure it above everything, the personal, the personal, the personal! I put my faith in it not only as the source, the ground of meaning in art, in life, but as the meaning itself.
Eudora Welty
Never think you've seen the last of anything.
Eudora Welty
The challenge to writers today, I think, is not to disown any part of our heritage. Whatever our theme in writing, it is old and tried. Whatever our place, it has been visited by the stranger, it will never be new again. It is only the vision that can be new but that is enough.
Eudora Welty
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 writer's own life.
Eudora Welty
Ah, I'm a woman that's been clear around the world in my rocking chair, and I tell you we all get surprises now and then.
Eudora Welty
There is absolutely everything in great fiction but a clear answer.
Eudora Welty
I like the feeling of being able to confront an experience and resolve it as art.
Eudora Welty
Insight doesn't happen often on the click of the moment, like a lucky snapshot, but comes in its own time and more slowly and from nowhere but within.
Eudora Welty
To write honestly and with all our powers is the least we can do, and the most.
Eudora Welty
To imagine yourself inside another person...is what a story writer does in every piece of work it is his first step, and his last too, I suppose.
Eudora Welty
Every story teaches you how to write that story but not the next story.
Eudora Welty
How can you go out on a limb if you do not know your own tree? No art ever came out of not risking your neck. And risk--experiment--is a considerable part of the joy of doing.
Eudora Welty
The first act of insight is throw away the labels.
Eudora Welty
Greater than scene is situation. Greater than situation is implication. Greater than all of these is a single, entire human being, who will never be confined in any frame.
Eudora Welty
One place comprehended can make us understand other places better.
Eudora Welty
The mystery lies in the use of language to express human life.
Eudora Welty
Is there any sleeping person you can be entirely sure you have not misjudged?
Eudora Welty
Beware of a man with manners.
Eudora Welty
