I'm trying to find a quotation which Percy used in one of his books. It may have been as an epigraph to one of his books. I believe the quotation was from an existentialist philosopher who said something to this effect: "The problem with modern man is that he cannot be alone in a room with himself." Does anyone recall where Percy used this quotation?
