I wasn't sure if it was Percy who had originally said this, or Percy quoting Flannery O'Connor or someone else. I recently came across it in "Signposts in a Strange Land" in the epilogue "An Interview with Zoltan Abadi-Nagy" -- last line (p. 396, Picador).Am I correct in assuming this is a "Percy original" and this is the first time the phrase had been said? Or is he referring to another use of the phrase?By the way, I just finished Tolson's biography of Percy ("Pilgrim in the Ruins") and I thought it was fantastic.Karey
