Why did God make women so beautiful and man with such a loving heart?

Walker Percy

Christ should leave us. He is too much with us and I don't like his friends. We have no hope of recovering Christ until Christ leaves us. There is after all something worse than being God-forsaken. It is when God overstays his welcome and take up with the wrong people.

Walker Percy

Suppose you ask God for a miracle and God says yes, very well. How do you live the rest of your life?

Walker Percy

I am not ashamed to use the word class. I will also plead guilty to another charge. The charge is that people belonging to my class think they're better than other people. You're damn right we're better. We're better because we do not shirk our obligations either to ourselves or to others....we live by our lights, we die by our lights, and whoever the high gods may be, we'll look them in the eye without apology.
