"The work of a writer is to create order out of chaos. Always, the chaos keeps slipping back in. Underneath the created order the fantastic diversity and madness of life goes on, expanding and changing and insisting upon itself. Still, each piece contains the whole. Tell one story truly and with clarity and you have done all anyone is required to do."
Falling Through Space: The Journals of Ellen Gilchrist (Boston: Little, Brown, 1987), p. 128.
