big-heartedness

I say this not to scare potential readers away from the book, but to stress that Beard’s big-heartedness and plain-spokenness makes death less scary than it seems most of the rest of the time.

“Just one example of the big-heartedness and lack of ego that goes with Jesse Plemons,” Goldstein says.

But I’m impressed: that he claimed such big-heartedness while showing such small-mindedness; that he twisted facts with such abandon and in such abundance; that he again trotted out that nonsense about having done more for Black Americans than any president since Abraham Lincoln; that he disparaged Joe Biden for not “following the science” about Covid-19 when he, Trump, mused about injections of bleach and vouched recklessly for hydroxychloroquine.

I have found his kind of love and big-heartedness uncommon in the industry.

“He knows what it feels like to go to bed hungry. He knows the pain of loss and the suffering of depression. Danny knows what it’s like to want to help but not have the means to do it. He has vowed a life of humility and big-heartedness, despite his fame.”
