Famous quotes containing the words south and/or wall:
“Whenever Im 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 OConnor (19251964)
“But I would cry,
rooted into the wall that
was once my mother,
if I could remember how
and if I had the tears.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
