James Baldwin Quotes

He Did Not Seem To Know Enough About The People In His Novel. They Did Not Seem To Trust Him. They Were All Named, More Or Less, All More Or Less Destined, The Pattern He Wished Them To Describe Was Clear To Him. But It Did Not Seem Clear To Them. He Could Move Them About But They Themselves Did Not Move. He Put Words In Their Mouths Which They Uttered Sullenly, Unconvinced. With The Same Agony, Or Greater, With Which He Attempted To Seduce A Woman, He Was Trying To Seduce His People: He Begged Them To Surrender Up Their Privacy. And They Refused - Without, For All Their Ugly Intransigence, Showing The Faintest Desire To Leave Him. They Were Waiting For Him To Find The Key, Press The Nerve, Tell The Truth.
