Quotes

All my life I continued to feel that bliss for me would have to imply my mother's deprivation or sacrifice. I don't think it would have occurred to her what a double emotion I felt, and indeed I know that it was being unfair to her, for what she said was simply the truth. Eudora Welty
A whole tree of lightning stood in the sky. She kept looking out the window, suffused with the warmth from the fire and with the pity and beauty and power of her death. The thunder rolled. Eudora Welty
Laurel could not see her face but only the back of her neck, the most vulnerable part of anybody, and she thought: Is there any sleeping person you can be entirely sure you have not misjudged? Eudora Welty
Eudora Welty quote: "She read Dickens in the same spirit she would have eloped with..."
She read Dickens in the same spirit she would have eloped with him. Eudora Welty
Eudora Welty quote: "Just now they kissed, with India coming up close on her toes..."
Just now they kissed, with India coming up close on her toes to see if she could tell yet what there was about a kiss. Eudora Welty
