Quotes by Owen Sheers (?)

“Better by far to live in the truth and know it, however bad it may be, than hide yourself away behind ignorance and habit.”
― Owen Sheers, Resistance

“There are narrow windows for certain beginnings. Multiple strands of personal histories, psychologies, emotions that intersect once only, and then never again.”
― Owen Sheers, I Saw A Man

“And that's why he's come back again,
to tip these ashes onto the tongue of the wind
and watch them spindrift into the night.

Not just to make the circle complete,
to heal or mend
but because he knows these walls,

sunk however low,
still hold him in as well as out:
protect as much as they defend.

-The Hill Fort”
― Owen Sheers, Skirrid Hill
