Felicity's favorite quotes
"Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best-seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher. "
— Flannery O'Connor
— Flannery O'Connor
"Art never responds to the wish to make it democratic; it is not for everybody; it is only for those who are willing to undergo the effort needed to understand it."
— Flannery O'Connor (Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose)
— Flannery O'Connor (Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose)
"For books continue each other, in spite of our habit of judging them separately."
