More quotes by Eudora Welty
A good snapshot stops a moment from running away.
Eudora Welty
A short story is confined to one mood, to which everything in the story pertains. Characters, setting, time, events, are all subject to the mood. And you can try more ephemeral, more fleeting things in a story - you can work more by suggestion - than in a novel. Less is resolved, more is suggested, perhaps.
Eudora Welty
Write about what you don't know about what you know.
Eudora Welty
All good writers speak in honest voices and tell the truth.
Eudora Welty
I think that as you learn more about writing you learn to be direct.
Eudora Welty
No art ever came out of not risking your neck.
Eudora Welty
Travel itself is part of some longer continuity.
Eudora Welty
Writing is an expression of the writer's own peculiar personality, could not help being so. Yet in reading great works one feels that the finished piece transcends the personal. All writers great and small must sometimes have felt that they have become part of what they wrote even more than it still remains a part of them.
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
A thing is incredible, if ever, only after it is told -- returned to the world it came out of.
Eudora Welty
One place understood helps us understand all places better
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
To open up the new, to look back on the old may bring forth like discoveries in the practice of art.
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
The novelist works neither to correct nor to condone, not at all to comfort, but to make what's told alive.
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 mystery lies in the use of language to express human life.
Eudora Welty
Beware of a man with manners.
Eudora Welty
Look for where the sky is brightest along the horizon. That reflects the nearest river. Strike out for a river and you will find habitation.
