The following comes from a lecture Flannery O'Connor once gave titled The Fiction Writer & His Country. I liked it a lot:
“The writer who emphasizes spiritual values is very likely to take the darkest view of all of what he sees in this country today. For him, the fact that we are the most powerful and the wealthiest nation in the world doesn’t mean a thing in any positive sense. The sharper the light of faith, the more glaring are apt to be the distortions the writer sees in the life around him.”
Peace,
Matt
