Title: Re: [percy-l] The Moviegoer/Percy and Electronic Discourse

Hello Everyone --

 

I'm a longtime subscriber to this list, and an avid Percy reader since the early 80's. Upon request I recently sent a friend several of Percy quotes for his blog, including:

 

"The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everydayness of his own life. To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair."

 

'We love those who know the worst of us and don't turn their faces away."

 

I found these online and don't know their source, but he mistakenly thought I identified them as coming from The Moviegoer. The first is a central Percy theme, obviously, but I don't quite have the time to plow through everything Percy wrote or told to an interviewer to find it. Does anyone happen to know what these quotes are from?

 

If so, thanks in advance,

 

Ken
