"LOVED INTO SOMETHING MORE THAN...UGLINESS"

“The natural world has such a secret power for me, it is such a source of strength and affirmation… But then there are human beings, too, and they, too, are beautiful and treacherous and full of such mystery. God knows we need someone to tell us the human is beautiful these days, and we need to hear over and over again that even in our ugliness we must be loved into something more than ourselves and more than ugliness.”

— From The Selected Letters of William Goyen
