Famous quotes containing the words south and/or america:

    “While the South is hardly Christ-centered, it is most certainly Christ-haunted.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    “The Miss America contest is ... the most perfectly rendered theater in our culture, for it so perfectly captures what we yearn for: a low-class ritual, a polished restatement of vulgarity, that wants to open the door to high-class respectability by way of plain middle-class anxiety and ambition.”
    —Gerald Early (b. 1952)
