American writer Eudora
Welty was born on this date in 1909. Here are some words of wisdom from her:
- 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.
- A good snapshot stops a moment from running away.
- 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.
- 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.
- Never think you've seen the last of anything.
- Write about what you don't know about what you know.
- it doesn't matter if it takes a long time getting there; the point is to have a destination
- The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy.
- All experience is an enrichment rather than an impoverishment.
- Happiness is something that appears to you suddenly, that is meant for you, a thing which you reach for and pick up and hide at your breast, a shiny thing that reminds you of something alive and leaping.
