Writer Quotes by Flannery O'Connor
All Writer quotes Flannery O'Connor’s page
Flannery O'Connor sees fiction as a lived experience that starts with the senses, not just ideas. She writes that a writer can pick a subject but cannot control which characters become alive, and that writing forces a deep look at one’s own conscience. For her, the act of writing is a way to discover what she truly knows.
![“People without hope do not write novels … [Writing fiction] is a plunge into reality and it’s very shocking to the system. If the novelist is not sustained by a hope of money, then he must be sustained by a hope of salvation, or he simply won’t survive the ordeal.” quote by Flannery O'Connor](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/225/flannery-o-connor-639_books_people-without-hope-do-not-write-novels_903687.png)
