Quote by Wally Lamb
I am not a smart man, particularly, but one day, at long last, I stumbled from the dark woods of my own, and my family's, and my country's past, holding in my hands these truths: that love grows from the rich loam of forgiveness; that mongrels make good dogs; that the evidence of God exists in the roundness of things. This much, at least, I've figured out. I know this much is true.
Summary
This quote speaks to the speaker's realization that despite their perceived lack of intelligence, they have come to understand certain profound truths. They have emerged from the burdens of their own personal history, as well as their family's and society's past, with newfound wisdom. They have learned that love thrives when forgiveness is present, that mixed heritages or varied backgrounds can produce excellent results, and that the presence of a divine force can be recognized in the beauty and harmony of the world. This realization gives the speaker a sense of certainty and declares their conviction that these truths, at least, remain unshakeable.
