“Everywhere I go I’m asked if I think the universities stifle
writers. My opinion is they don’t stifle enough of them. There’s many a
best-seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.”
Flannery O’Connor, “The Nature and Aim of Fiction,” in Mystery
and Manners: Occasional Prose (1969,
Garrar, Straus and Giroux, 84-84)
