Shelby Foote
"A fact is not a truth until you love it."
"I have noticed that when a man dies, no matter at what age
or by what cause, his life then has a beginning and a middle and an end, and sometimes his death explains his youth."
My friend Beth said:
This quote "reminds of something I once read about how a good story's ending should be like a flash of lightening, enlightening the reader about the whole story."

I once met Shelby Foote, and he was a true Southern gentleman. Even from a superficial five minute conversation, he left a powerful impression of great intelligence, wisdom beyond intelligence and kindness.
Hey Theresa: I love the exposure you provide me to other writers of whom I may not have heard - and you do have plenty of bons mots of your own. Thanks for all you are doing to broaden my knowledge and provoke my own imagination. Encore, maestra!!
