Samantha’s Quotes

“The type of mind that can understand good fiction is not necessarily the educated mind, but it is at all times the kind of mind that is willing to have its sense of mystery deepened by contact with reality, and its sense of reality deepened by contact with mystery.”
― Flannery O'Connor, Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose
