Famous quotes containing the words south and/or state:
“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 wealthy man is not he who has money, but he who has the means to live in the luxurious state of early spring.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
