James Baldwin... A quote

'Something almost as hard to catch as a whisper in a crowded place, as light and as definite as a spider's web, strikes below my ribs, stunning & astonishing my heart ... the baby, turning for the first time in its incredible veil of water, announces its presence and claims me; tells me, in that instant, that what can get worse can get better ... in the meantime - forever - it is entirely up to me.'' James Baldwin
