Matthew

“The Catholic novelist in the South will see many distorted images of Christ, but he will certainly feel that a distorted image of Christ is better than no image at all.

― Flannery O'Connor

“I have wanted women whose very shoes are worth all I have ever possessed.”
― John Fante, Ask the Dust

“You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you odd.”
