Domesticated Despair?

20 08 2008

Several from Flannery O’Connor

From The Habit of Being

“There is a moment in every great story in which the presence of grace can be felt as it waits to be accepted or rejected, even though the reader may not recognize this moment.”

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

From Mystery and Manners

“The writer operates at a peculiar crossroads where time and place and eternity somehow meet. His problem is to find that location.”

“At its best our age is an age of searchers and discoverers, and at its worst, an age that has domesticated despair and learned to live with it happily.”
