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.

Indeed, learning to write may be part of learning to read. For all I know, writing comes out of a superior devotion to reading.

I am a writer who came of a sheltered life. A sheltered life can be a daring life as well. For all serious daring starts from within.
