Big South

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or south:

“We may seem great in an employment below our worth, but we very often look little in one that is too big for us.”

“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)
