“Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories. Listening for them is something more acute than listening to them. I suppose it’s an early form of participation in what goes on.

― Eudora Welty, One Writer's Beginnings

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
