[Mrs. Don-o]

Long applause for Flanner O'Connor, and for Lewis and Chesterton. But --- lest this turn into an O'Connor-Lewis-ChestertonFest (always a danger because they're so eye-poppingly good)--- I have to put in some of my other favorites.

---

"A comprehended god is no god."

"Slander is worse than cannibalism."

"The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops."

Those are all from St. John Chrysostom, Bishop

Oh, OK. I can't resist s couple more from Flannery O'Connor. From "A Good Man in Hard to Find"

"She would of been a good woman," The Misfit said, "if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life."

(This is one of my husband's favorites, too).

On the Holy Eucharist:

"If it's just a symbol, to hell with it."

"She would of been a good woman," The Misfit said, "if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life."

*Roaring* One of my favorites too, Mrs. Don-o! I may have given you this link before (my apologies if so), but here is a paper Tom wrote on Flannery: "The Fight to be “Flannery”: A Good (Catholic) Woman (Writer) is Hard to Find."
