About This Quote

When a person is in a bad situation, they need immediate help. However, it is not always easy to get out of the situation. We have all been in a situation where something bad has happened and we have been too afraid to do anything about it. In those situations, we often feel as if it is too late to help the person.

If we wait too long, nothing can be done. However, that is not always true. In this quote from Raymond Carver’s What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, his wife makes him promise to do something about their situation.
