The Artificial Nigger and Other Tales Quotes

“He felt he knew now what time would be like without seasons and what heat would be like without light and what man would be like without salvation. He didn't care if he never made the train and if it had not been for what suddenly caught his attention, like a cry out of the gathering dusk, he might have forgotten there was a station to go to.”
― Flannery O'Connor, The Artificial Nigger and Other Tales

“The boy’s look was ancient, as if he knew everything already and would be pleased to forget it.”
― Flannery O'Connor, The Artificial Nigger and Other Tales
