Jump in the Lake

I’m still slowly making my way through “The Habit of Being” (the letters of Flannery O’Connor) and since I won’t be reading it again I thought I’d record some of the gems I find here

 

“I don’t like to criticize the work of people who are strangers to me.  You never know when something you may say might make them go jump in the lake.  I don’t mean I go around saying things that make people jump in the lake, but you might just step on a deep wound or something.” (page 396)
