Florence King Quotes
Florence King (b. 1936) is an American , novelist, essayist and columnist. While her early writings focused on the American South and those who live there, much of King's later work has been published in the National Review. Her column in National Review, "The Misanthrope's Corner", was known for "serving up a smorgasbord of curmudgeonly critiques about rubes and all else bothersome to the Queen of Mean", as the magazine put it. She is a traditional conservative, but not a "movement conservative" and objects to much of the populist direction of the contemporary American Right. Miss King labels herself, with considerable justification, a "misanthrope".

“Any hope that America would finally grow up vanished with the rise of fundamentalist Christianity. Fundamentalism, with its born-again regression, its pink-and-gold concept of heaven, its literal-mindedness, its rambunctious good cheer ... its anti-intellectualism ... its puerile hymns ... and its faith-healing ... are made to order for King Kid America.”
