Famous quotes containing the word baldwin:

    Americans, unhappily, have the most remarkable ability to alchemize all bitter truths into an innocuous but piquant confection and to transform their moral contradictions, or public discussion of such contradictions, into a proud decoration, such as are given for heroism on the battle field.
    —James Baldwin (1924–1987)

    My Love in me and I in him,
    Conjoined by love, will till abide
    Among the faithful lilies
    Till day do break, and truth do dim
    All shadows dark and cause them slide,
    According as his will is.
    —William Baldwin (fl. 1547–1549)

    Confronted with the impossibility of remaining faithful to one’s beliefs, and the equal impossibility of becoming free of them, one can be driven to the most inhuman excesses.
    —James Baldwin (1924–1987)
