Flannery O'Connor Quotes
The problem of the novelist who wishes to write about a man's encounter with God is how he shall make the experience--which is both natural and supernatural--understandable, and credible, to his reader.

Today's audience is one in which religious feeling has become, if not atrophied, at least vaporous and sentimental.
