James McBride Quotes

The Old Face, Crinkled And Dented With Canals Running Every Which Way, Pushed And Shoved Up Against Itself For A While, Till A Big Old Smile Busted Out From Beneath 'em All, And His Grey Eyes Fairly Glowed. It Was The First Time I Ever Saw Him Smile Free. A True Smile. It Was Like Looking At The Face Of God. And I Knowed Then, For The First Time, That Him Being The Person To Lead The Colored To Freedom Weren't No Lunacy. It Was Something He Knowed True Inside Him. I Saw It Clear For The First Time. I Knowed Then, Too, That He Knowed What I Was - From The Very First.
