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

    “... the Black woman in America can justly be described as a “slave of a slave.””

    “I do not like football, which I think of as a game in which two tractors approach each other from opposite directions and collide. Besides, I have contempt for a game in which players have to wear so much equipment. Men play basketball in their underwear, which seems just right to me.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
