Flannery O' Connor Quotes
O'Connor is one of my favorite short story writers. Enjoy:

The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.

When a book leaves your hands, it belongs to God. He may use it to save a few souls or to try a few others, but I think that for the writer to worry is to take over God's business.

I like the quote about truth.
Flannery O' Conner is incredible. I was reading some of her stuff this summer.
Yeah, it's been awhile since I've read much of her stuff. I reread a few of her stories earlier this year. I need to read a bunch more. And, I've never read her novel "Wise Blood." I need to get that. I've read selections from it.
