“I have found, in short, from reading my own writing, that my subject in fiction is the action of grace in territory largely held by the devil.

― Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose

“All the natural movements of the soul are controlled by laws analogous to those of physical gravity. Grace is the only exception. Grace fills empty spaces, but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it, and it is grace itself which makes this void. The imagination is continually at work filling up all the fissures through which grace might pass.”
