“The past is never where you think you left it.”
Katherine Anne Porter

“I shall try to tell the truth, but the result will be fiction.”
Katherine Anne Porter

“There seems to be a kind of order in the universe…in the movement of the stars and the turning of the Earth and the changing of the seasons. But human life is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own right and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own.”
Katherine Anne Porter
