South Bend

Famous quotes containing the words south and/or bend:

“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)

“I bend my body to the spade
Or grope with a dirty hand.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
