James Baldwin
“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. Their decisions are not really decisions at all—a real decision makes one humble, one knows that it is at the mercy of more things than can be named—but elaborate systems of evasion, of illusion, designed to make themselves and the world appear to be what they and the world are not.”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

James Baldwin
“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.”
James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

David Bowie
“Aging is an extraordinary process whereby you become the person you always should have been.”
David Bowie

Pablo Neruda
“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”
Pablo Neruda
