In tragic life, God wot,
No villain need be! Passions spin the plot:
We are betrayed by what is false within.

Additional quotes by George Meredith

Full lasting is the song, though he,
The singer, passes

For singing till his heaven fills,
'Tis love of earth that he instils,
And ever winging up and up,
Our valley is his golden cup,
And he the wine which overflows
To lift us with him as he goes.

All wisdom's armoury this man could wield

In tragic life, God wot, No villain need be! Passions spin the plot: We are betrayed by what is false within. - George Meredith
