Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or roots:
“Perhaps it’s more merciful to forget the dead instead of remembering them.”

“Look at this poet William Carlos Williams: he is primitive and native, and his roots are in raw forest and violent places; he is word-sick and place-crazy. He admires strength, but for what? Violence! This is the cult of the frontier mind.”
