Eudora Welty Quotes
The first act of insight is throw away the labels. In fiction, while we do not necessarily write about ourselves, we write out of ourselves, using ourselves; what we learn from, what we are sensitive to, what we feel strongly about--these become our characters and go to make our plots. Characters in fiction are conceived from within, and they have, accordingly, their own interior life; they are individuals every time.

To promise is most courtly and fashionable; performance is a kind of will or testament which argues a great sickness in his judgment that makes it.
