“I am no vague believer. I see from the standpoint of Christian orthodoxy. This 
means that for me the meaning of life is centered in our Redemption by Christ and
that what I see in the world I see its relation to that. I don’t think that this
is a position that can be taken halfway or one that is particularly easy in these
times to make transparent in fiction.”

–Flannery O’Connor, “The Fiction Writer and His Country,” in _Flannery O’Connor:
Collected Works_, (New York: Library of America, 1988), 804-805.
