The Terrible Speed of Mercy Quotes

“Ironically, it is only when the fiction writer obeys the laws of his or her art, rather than resorting to propaganda, that the sense of the Transcendent has a chance to exert itself. “When fiction is made according to its nature, it should reinforce our sense of the supernatural by grounding it in concrete, observable reality.”
― Jonathan Rogers, The Terrible Speed of Mercy: A Spiritual Biography of Flannery O'Connor
