“You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discover that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that he is alone. This is why art is important. Art would not be important if life were not important, and life is important.”

— James Baldwin, Conversations with James Baldwin (via 5139321966)

the difficulty of writing is often due to something you won’t say, whether because you can’t or think you can’t, because it’s too simple or straightforward, or because you’re trying to revivify the thing in reference by giving it different rhetorical form. many documents are thus records of a thinker’s circumnavigation around this unsayable thing or a series of them
