William Meredith

“The worst that could be said of any man was that he did not pay attention”

“Right words are born in courage, which results from our struggle to make sense of our various predicaments. Cheer is what words are "trying to tell us/... It's native to the words/and what they want us always to know/even when it seems quite impossible to do.”

“The worst that can be said of a man is that he did not pay attention.”

“Life is some kind of loathsome hag who is forever threatening to turn beautiful”
