"The Catholic novelist in the South will see many distorted images of Christ, but he will certainly feel that a distorted image of Christ is better than no image at all. I think he will feel a good deal more kinship with backwoods prophets and shouting fundamentalists than he will with those politer elements for whom the supernatural is an embarrassment and for whom religion has become a department of sociology or culture or personality development."

"To expect too much is to have a sentimental view of life and this is a softness that ends in bitterness."
Life
"I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best."
Writer
"To know oneself is, above all, to know what one lacks."
Self
"The meaning of a story should go on expanding for the reader the more he thinks about it, but meaning cannot be captured in an interpretation. If teachers are in the habit of approaching a story as if it were a research problem for which any answer is believable so long as it is not obvious, then I think students will never learn to enjoy fiction. Too much interpretation is certainly worse than too little, and where feeling for a story is absent, theory will not supply it."
Literature
"Accepting oneself does not preclude an attempt to become better."

"Everywhere I go, I am asked if I think university stifles writers. My opinion is that it doesn't stifle enough of them."
Opinion
"I don't deserve any credit for turning the other cheek as my tongue is always in it."
Recognition
"What one has as a born Catholic is something given and accepted before it is experienced. I am only slowly coming to experience things that I have all along accepted. I suppose the fullest writing comes from what has been accepted and experienced both and that I have just not got that far yet all the time. Conviction without experience makes for harshness."
Religion
"Lord, I believe; help my unbelief'... is the most natural and most human and most agonizing prayer in the gospels, and I think it is the foundation prayer of faith."
