Quote of the Day

Seems three hundred letters written between writer Flannery O'Connor and a lesbian friend are coming out tomorrow (news via Sully), and here's an already released excerpt that I'm posting just because I adore the way O'Connor turns a phrase:

"You don't look anything like I expected you to as I always take people at their word and I was prepared for white hair, horn-rimmed spectacles, nose of eagle and shape of ginger-beer bottle. Seek the truth and pursue it: you ain't even passably ugly."

The next chance I get I'm so going to tell someone they "ain't even passably ugly."
