Conception Day

Famous quotes containing the words conception and/or day:

“Whenever I’m asked why Southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, I say it is because we are still able to recognize one. To be able to recognize a freak, you have to have some conception of the whole man, and in the South the general conception of man is still, in the main, theological.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

“The day of the absolute is over, and we’re in for the strange gods once more.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
