Philippe Ariès
“A single person is missing for you, and the whole world is empty. But one no longer has the right to say so aloud.”
Philippe Ariès, Western Attitudes Toward Death: From the Middle Ages to the Present

Octavia E. Butler
“I'm a 48-year-old writer who can remember being a 10-year-old writer and who expects someday to be an 80-year-old writer. I'm also comfortably asocial -- a hermit in the middle of Los Angeles -- a pessimist if I'm not careful, a feminist, a Black, a former Baptist, an oil-and-water combination of ambition, laziness, insecurity, certainty, and drive.”
Octavia E. Butler

James Baldwin
“The artistic image is not intended to represent the thing itself, but, rather, the reality of the force the thing contains.”
James Baldwin, Nobody Knows My Name

James Baldwin
“Though we do not wholly believe it yet, the interior life is a real life, and the intangible dreams of people have a tangible effect on the world.”
James Baldwin, Nobody Knows My Name

James Baldwin
“There is an illusion about America, a myth about America to which we are clinging which has nothing to do with the lives we lead and I don't believe that anybody in this country who has really thought about it or really almost anybody who has been brought up against it--and almost all of us have one way or another--this collision between one's image of oneself and what one actually is is always very painful and there are two things you can do about it, you can meet the collision head-on and try and become what you really are or you can retreat and try to remain what you thought you were, which is a fantasy, in which you will certainly perish.”
James Baldwin, Nobody Knows My Name
