One of the awful things about writing when you are a Christian is that for you the ultimate reality is the Incarnation, the present reality is the Incarnation, and nobody believes in the Incarnation; that is, nobody in your audience.

The Habit of Being: Letters of Flannery O'Connor, p.92, Macmillan
