Flannery O'Connor Quotes
Behind the newspaper Julian was withdrawing into the inner compartment of his mind where he spent most of his time. This was a kind of mental bubble in which he established himself when he could not bear to be a part of what was going on around him.

His mother had never entered it but from it he could see her with absolute clarity.
