All serious daring starts from within. (Eudora Welty)
Eudora Welty - From the Books category:
It had been startling and disappointing to me to find out that story books had been written by people, that books were not natural wonders, coming of themselves like grass. (Eudora Welty)
Eudora Welty - From the Books category:
I wanted to read immediately. The only fear was that of books coming to an end. (Eudora Welty)
Eudora Welty - From the Children category:
Children, like animals, use all their senses to discover the world. Then artists come along and discover it the same way all over again. (Eudora Welty)
Eudora Welty - From the Discovery category:
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)
Eudora Welty - From the Editing category:
Since we must and do write each our own way, we may during actual writing get more lasting instruction not from another's work, whatever its blessings, however better it is than ours, but from our own poor scratched-over pages. For these we can hold up to life. That is, we are born with a mind and heart to hold each page up to, and to ask: is it valid? (Eudora Welty)

All experience is an enrichment rather than an impoverishment. (Eudora Welty)

There is absolutely everything in great fiction but a clear answer. (Eudora Welty)
Eudora Welty - From the Reality category:
Making reality real is art's responsibility. It is a practical assignment, then, a self-assignment: to achieve, by a cultivated sensitivity for observing life, a capacity for receiving impressions, a lonely, unremitting, unaided, unaidable vision, and transferring this vision without distortion... (Eudora Welty)
Eudora Welty - From the Revelation category:
The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves, they find their own order... the continuous thread of revelation. (Eudora Welty)
Eudora Welty - From the Risk category:
A sheltered life can be a daring life as well. For all serious daring starts from within. (Eudora Welty)
Eudora Welty - From the Travel category:
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)
Eudora Welty - From the Unknowns category:
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)
Eudora Welty - From the Writing category:
Writers and travelers are mesmerized alike by knowing of their destinations. (Eudora Welty)
