Favorite Quotes: Writing as Engineering

"It makes us realize once again that prose is a structure in its every part, that the imagination is engineered when we write.  A sentence may be in as perfect control as a church or a bridge."

     Eudora Welty, referring to a sentence in Faulkner's "The Bear"
            "Looking at Short Stories," The Eye of the Story
