Maya Angelou: When you leave your house in France, and come to the United States -- when you leave your adopted home and come to your real home, what kind of response do you have, inside yourself?

James Baldwin: I miss my family. I miss uh...a lot of people, you know, who are part of me. You know?

Angelou: Keep you alive. Yes.

Baldwin: And a certain kind of speed, energy, beat -- which only Americans, only American Black people, have. Y'know? I miss that. When you say my home, it's not exactly my home. It's a kind of asylum. It's a place where I can work. I have a lot of work to do. And...if you are in a situation where you're always resisting and resenting, it's very hard to...

Angelou: Takes too much energy.

Baldwin: Well, you can't write a book.

Angelou: No.

Baldwin: You can't write a sentence. I asked my brother David -- we were driving through, we were driving in Harlem, I was in Harlem, I was living there -- And I said to him, I said, I wonder what would have happened to me if I had stayed? And you know David.

Angelou: I know David.

Baldwin: Cause, y'know, I also wanted to stay. I didn't wanna go. David laughed. That laugh.

Angelou: Terrible, knowing laugh.

Baldwin: He said, You'd be dead, everybody else is.

when James Baldwin said I can’t be a pessimist because I’m alive

stuckinapril

when James Baldwin said to be a pessimist means that you have agreed that human life is an academic matter. So I am forced to be an optimist. I am forced to believe that we can survive whatever we must survive.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Episode SP-129 (1999)

Like I said, I don’t blame anyone. I was dealt my cards and I played them. Nobody forced me. I have no regrets. Sometimes I think about how my life would have been if that morning when it all started it hadn’t been raining or I’d had money and all the rest in my pocket, but I can’t imagine anything in particular. What I do think about is my city, our city. I think about the trees along the river and the summits of the churches against the sky. I think about Graziano’s movie and the notes that Arianna stuck to the door in the hope of giving her days some structure, I think about my youth, now ended, and the old age I won’t have. I think about all the things unrealized, the children stillborn, the angels, the loves only imagined, the dreams crushed by the dawn, and I think about the things that are dead forever, the genocides, the trees felled, the whales exterminated, all the species that are extinct. I think about the first fish that survived being abandoned by the waters, that struggled and gave birth to us. I think that everything leads to the sea. The sea that welcomes everything, all the things that have never succeeded in being born and those that have died forever. I think about the day when the sky will open and, for the first time or once again, they will regain their legitimacy.

i think understanding the family as a system of ownership over both women and children will lead you to understand both misogyny and the oppression of children a lot better and also be able to draw informative parallels between both
