If one is continually surviving the worst that life can bring, one eventually ceases to be controlled by a fear of what life can bring; whatever it brings must be borne. And at this level of experience one’s bitterness begins to be palatable, and hatred becomes too heavy a sack to carry.
James Baldwin in Down at the Cross: Letter from a Region in My Mind
“It is our fate as human beings to always give up some good things for other good things, to throw off certain bad circumstances only to create others. Thus there is a value for the writer in trying to give as thorough a report of social reality as possible. Only by doing so may we grasp and convey the cost of change.”
-Ralph Ellison, Shadow and Act
“A great part of both the strength and the weakness of our national existence lies in the fact that Americans do not abide very quietly the evils of life.”
-Richard Hofstadter, The Age of Reform
"Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly."
-Proverbs 14:29
