“A little remembering is all right but too much is a disease I am terribly prone to.”
Suzanne Marrs , What There Is to Say We Have Said: The Correspondence of Eudora Welty and William Maxwell

“I kept hearing in my head all the way that beautiful word “confluence”—“the confluence of the waters”—everything the eyes could see was like the word happening. I don’t remember that there were any houses or roads or people anywhere, just treetops and water and distance and sky and birds and confluence. It may not be so rare but I thought so then and I do now—it’s all so rarely the blessing falls.”
Suzanne Marrs, Meanwhile There Are Letters: The Correspondence of Eudora Welty and Ross Macdonald

“All letters, old and new, are the still-existing parts of a life. To read them now is to be present when some discovery of truth—or perhaps untruth, some flash of light—is just occurring. It is clamorous with the moment’s happiness or pain. To come upon a personal truth of a human being however little known, and now gone forever, is in some way to admit him to our friendship. What we’ve been told need not be momentous, but it can be as good as receiving the darting glance from some very bright eye, still mischievous and mischief-making, arriving from fifty or a hundred years ago.”
Suzanne Marrs, What There Is to Say We Have Said: The Correspondence of Eudora Welty and William Maxwell
