Illuminating Quotes, Visualised – Part VI James Baldwin is perhaps my favourite quotist. He has said far too many profound, insightful, and mind-flipping things to be considered just an author. Although his books are very good – particularly The Fire Next Time. And he knows what books are actually about; “You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.”
