In Haught Pursuit: Keeping Up With Miss "Nelle"

My sister, Beverly, is an avid Harper Lee fan and always has the latest news on this famous recluse. Today Beverly has linked to an article by Alice Randall who, among other things, praises To Kill a Mockingbird as an etiquette book.

Favorite Quotes

"We live - or will we soon have to say that we survive? - in a society in which all order has disappeared and where the natural hierarchy of truth, goodness and beauty has become an antiquated criterion of judgment. However, it is only when we submit to this order that we grow, because it gives to the soul a delicacy that is the only thing capable of profoundly forming it. As such delicacy is now vilified and destroyed, we witness the establishment of an anarchy where the barbarian, assured of himself and of his brutal strength, reigns while shamelessly parading his wretched coarseness. Thus, the absence of courtesy rings the death-knell of life in society, the shipwreck of courtesy being no more than the evident sign of the rejection of the virtues without which it is impossible to live in community."--Fr. Yves le Roux, Rector, St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary
