Famous quotes containing the words open and/or line:

“Through open doors, the dining-room declares
A larger loneliness of knives and glass
And silence laid like carpet.”

“Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads, how to follow, how to connect, find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists. The strands are all there: to the memory nothing is ever really lost.”
—Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
