Quote of the moment

"Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best-seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher."
-Flannery O'Connor

    I'm confused. Is O'Connor saying that universities should work harder to stifle writers who create best sellers? Because he has such a low opinion of best sellers? I think so.

    I think he's saying that universities to do what they can to discourage students from becoming writers.
