Flannery O'Connor quote: "Not-writing is a good deal worse than writing."
Not-writing is a good deal worse than writing. Flannery O'Connor
Where you come from is gone, where you thought you were going to never was there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it Flannery O'Connor
Poorly written novels -- no matter how pious and edifying the behavior of the characters -- are not good in themselves and are therefore not really edifying. Flannery O'Connor
The novelist makes his statements by selection, and if he is any good, he selects every word for a reason, every detail for a reason, every incident for a reason, and arranges them in a certain time-sequence for a reason. He demonstrates something that cannot possibly be demonstrated any other way than with a whole novel. Flannery O'Connor
