Famous quotes containing the words american and/or novelist:
“One can not be an American by going about saying that one is an American. It is necessary to feel America, like America, love America and then work.”

“Manners are of such great consequence to the novelist that any kind will do. Bad manners are better than no manners at all, and because we are losing our customary manners, we are probably overly conscious of them; this seems to be a condition that produces writers.”
—Flannery OConnor (19251964)
