Big South

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or south:

“If our caricaturists do not hate their enemies, it is not because they are too big to hate them, but because their enemies are not big enough to hate.”

“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)
