Good Man, Good Woman . . .

Every now and then I will post some reference to a piece of literature that I really like (or don't, for that matter).

Being a southern girl, I have a keen appreciation for regional authors like Eudora Welty and Flannery O'Connor. In "A Good Man is Hard to Find", FO writes, I believe, one of the best summations of human nature ever written:

"She would of been a good woman . . . if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life."

In other words, we shouldn't wait until the last possible minute to be, well, good. By then, it's usually too late.
