“I couldn't make any judgment on the Summa, except to say this: I read it for about twenty minutes every night before I go to bed. If my mother were to come in during this process and say, 'Turn off that light. It's late,' I with a lifted finger and broad bland beatific expression, would reply, 'On the contrary, I answer that the light, being eternal and limitless, cannot be turned off. Shut your eyes,' or some such thing.”

My audience are the people who think God is dead. At least these are the people I am conscious of writing for.”
― Flannery O'Connor, The Habit of Being: Letters of Flannery O'Connor
