James Baldwin Quotes
Giovanni Had Awakened An Itch, Had Released A Gnaw In Me. I Realized It One Afternoon, When I Was Taking Him To Work Via The Boulevard Montparnasse. We Had Bought A Kilo Of Cherries And We Were Eating Them As We Walked Along. We Were Both Insufferably Childish And High-spirited That Afternoon And The Spectacle We Presented, Two Grown Men Jostling Each Other On The Wide Sidewalk And Aiming The Cherry Pits, As Though They Were Spitballs, Into Each Other's Faces, Must Have Been Outrageous. And I Realized That Such Childishness Was Fantastic At My Age And The Happiness Out Of Which It Sprang Yet More So; For That Moment I Really Loved Giovanni, Who Had Never Seemed More Beautiful Than He Was That Afternoon.
