The world is before you, and ...

The world is before you, and you need not take it or leave it as it was when you came in.

James Baldwin 434 quotes

Whatever you describe to anot...

Whatever you describe to another person is also a revelation of who you are and who you think you are. You can not describe anything without betraying your point of view, your aspirations, your fears, your hopes. Everything.

Artists are here to disturb the peace.

... every human being is an unprecedented miracle.

James Baldwin 434 quotes

If one really wishes to know ...

If one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges, or the protected members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected - those, precisely, who need the law's protection most! - and listens to their testimony.

James Baldwin 434 quotes

Please try to remember that what they believe, as well as what they do and cause you to endure does not testify to your inferiority but to their inhumanity

James Baldwin 434 quotes

White people will have quite ...

White people will have quite enough to do in learning how to accept and love themselves and each other, and when they have achieved this - which will not be tomorrow and may very well be never - the Negro problem will no longer exist, for it will no longer be needed.

James Baldwin 434 quotes

People who believe that they ...

People who believe that they are strong-willed and the masters of their destiny can only continue to believe this by becoming specialists in self-deception.

James Baldwin 434 quotes

Know from whence you came. If you know whence you came, there are absolutely no limitations to where you can go.

James Baldwin 434 quotes

You think your pain and your ...

You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was Dostoevsky and Dickens who taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who ever had been alive. Only if we face these open wounds in ourselves can we understand them in other people.

James Baldwin 434 quotes

Drive to the heart of every answer and expose the question the answer hides.

James Baldwin 434 quotes

It is astonishing the lengths...

It is astonishing the lengths to which a person, or a people, will go in order to avoid a truthful mirror.

James Baldwin 434 quotes

No people come into possession of a culture without having paid a heavy price for it.

James Baldwin 434 quotes

Life is tragic simply because...

Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time.

James Baldwin 434 quotes

Pessimists are the people who...

Pessimists are the people who have no hope for themselves or for others. Pessimists are also people who think the human race is beneath their notice, that they're better than other human beings.

James Baldwin 434 quotes

But the relationship of moral...

But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.

James Baldwin 434 quotes

Everybody's journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality.

To act is to be committed, and to be committed is to be in danger.

James Baldwin 434 quotes

People pay for what they do, ...

People pay for what they do, and still more for what they have allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it very simply; by the lives they lead.

James Baldwin 434 quotes

You know, it's not the world ...

You know, it's not the world that was my oppressor, because what the world does to you, if the world does it to you long enough and effectively enough, you begin to do to yourself.
