All EUDORA WELTY Quotes about “Giving”

“Don't give anybody up. . . or leave anybody out. . . . There's room for everything, and time for everybody, if you take your day the way it comes along and try not to be much later than you can help."--Spoken by Jack to Gloria”
“Time is anonymous; when we give it a face, it's the same face the world over.”
