Letter "W" » William Carlos Williams Quotes
«Everyone in this life is defeated. But a man, if he be a man, is not defeated.»
Author: William Carlos Williams
(Poet)
«Time is a storm in which we are all lost. Only inside the convolutions of the storm itself shall we find our directions.»

«But the thing that stands eternally in the way of really good writing is always one: the virtual impossibility of lifting to the imagination those things which lie under the direct scrutiny of the senses, close to the nose. It is this difficulty that sets a value upon all works of art and makes them a necessity. The senses witnessing what is immediately before them in detail see a finality which they cling to in despair, not knowing which way to turn. Thus this so-called natural or scientific array becomes fixed, the walking devil of modern life.»
