James Baldwin
“I smiled, and he smiled, and something really human happened between us, for the first time.”
James Baldwin, If Beale Street Could Talk

Elif Batuman
“Was that what was so painful: that nobody had ever come so close to me- nobody had ever seen me, and come right up to me, and kept going, and looked into my eyes so seriously, with so little fear?”
Elif Batuman, Either/Or
