Not tryin to beat a ded horse or anything but...

This morning I was reading Flan O'Connor's excellen "The Enduring
Chill" when the following line caught my eye:

"Salvation," quoted Goetz, "is the destruction of a simple
prejudice, and no one is saved."

Does anyone know the source of this line? (Goetz is a New York
intellectual who spent six months in Japan being a buddhist.) Any
relevance to our hispanic narcotics enforcement agent?
