James Baldwin
"The South is very beautiful but its beauty makes one sad because the lives that people live here, and have lived here, are so ugly."

Beauty

"The paradox of education is precisely this; that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated."

Education

Quote_1.png
James Baldwin
"It is a very rare man who does not victimize the helpless."

Man

Quote_1.png
James Baldwin
"The question of identity is a question involving the most profound panic-a terror as primary as the nightmare of the mortal fall."

Psychology

Quote_1.png
James Baldwin
"Then the door is before him. There is darkness all around him, there is silence in him. Then the door opens and he stands alone, the whole world falling away from him. And the brief corner of the sky seems to be shrieking, though he does not hear a sound. Then the earth tilts, he is thrown forward on his face in darkness, and his journey begins."

Adventure

Quote_1.png
James Baldwin
"Ultimately, the artist and the revolutionary function as they function, and pay whatever dues they must pay behind it because they are both possessed by a vision, and they do not so much follow this vision as find themselves driven by it. Otherwise, they could never endure, much less embrace, the lives they are compelled to lead."

Motivation

Quote_1.png
James Baldwin
"The necessity, then, of those "lesser breeds without the law-those wogs, barbarians, niggers-is this: one must not become more free, not become more base than they: must not be used as they are used, nor yet use them as their abandonment allows one to use them: therefore, they must be civilized. But, when they are civilized, they may simply "spuriously imitate [the civilizer] back again, leaving the civilizer with no satisfaction on which to rest."

Society

Quote_1.png
James Baldwin
"Try to imagine how you would feel if you woke up one morning to find the sun shining and all the stars aflame. You would be frightened because it is out of the order of nature. Any upheaval in the universe is terrifying because it so profoundly attacks one's sense of one's own reality. Well, the black man has functioned in the white man's world as a fixed star, as an immovable pillar: and as he moves out of his place, heaven and earth are shaken to their foundation."

Nature

Quote_1.png
James Baldwin
"If you know whence you came, there is really no limit to where you can go."

James Baldwin
"He wanted to go home and lock his door and sleep. He was tired of the troubles of real people. He wanted to get back to the people he was inventing, whose troubles he could bear."
