"I can, with one eye squinted, take it all as a blessing."
— Flannery O'Connor
Sharon Nemeth "The woman thumped the malted milk on the counter in front of him. 'Fifteen cents,' she roared. 'You're worth more than that baby girl,' Enoch said. He snickered and began gassing his malted milk through the straw. The woman storde over to where Haze was, 'What you come in here with a son of bitch like that for?' She s...houted."
Sharon Nemeth "It's easier to bleed than sweat, Mr. Motes,' she said in the voice of High Scarcasm. 'You must believe in Jesus or you wouldn't do these foolish things. You must have been lying to me when you named your fine church. I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't some kind of agent of the pope or got some connection with some...thing funny."

Raffaello "NOTHING PRODUCES SILENCE LIKE EXPERIENCE." ("MYSTERY & MANNERS").
Flannery O'Connor What the Catholic fiction writer must realize is that those who question [the faith] are not insane at all, they are not utterly foolish and irrelevant, they are for the most part acting according to their lights. What he must get over is that they don't have the complete light.--"The Church & the Fiction Writer"
Flannery O'Connor "The sheriff knew a nasty bit when he saw it. He was accustomed to enter upon scenes that were not as bad as he had hoped to find them, but this one met his expectations." --The Comforts of Home
Barbara "He had stuffed his own emptiness with good works like a glutton"~The Lame Shall Enter First.
Gayle Somers "I have found that violence is strangely capable of returning my characters to reality and preparing them to accept their moment of grace... This idea...is one which is seldom understood by the casual reader, but it is one which is implicit in the Christian view of the world." Flannery O'Connor

would have been a good woman if it had been
somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life." The Misfit, A Good Man is
Hard to Find
Flannery O'Connor "She had never been kissed before and she was pleased to discover that it was an unexceptional experience and all a matter of the mind's control. Some people might enjoy drain water if they were told it was vodka." --Good Country People
