Book cover for An American Conscience: The Reinhold Niebuhr Story
The logic of the Social Gospel presumed that a clear-eyed and courageous group of Christians could use rational suasion and moral authority to awaken the nation’s social conscience.

“Days, fast fading as snowflakes, flurry into autumn, fall all around like November leaves, the sky, cold red with winter, frightens with the light it sheds.”
Truman Capote, Other Voices, Other Rooms

James H. Cone
“Present-day Christians misinterpret the cross when they make it a nonoffensive religious symbol, a decorative object in their homes and churches. The cross, therefore, needs the lynching tree to remind us what it means when we say that God is revealed in Jesus at Golgotha, the place of the skull, on the cross where criminals and rebels against the Roman state were executed. The lynching tree is America's cross.”
James H. Cone, Said I Wasn't Gonna Tell Nobody: The Making of a Black Theologian

Truman Capote
“Who needs money anyhow? Leastwise, not right aways we don't ... except for dopes. We ought to save enough so we can have a dope every day cause my brains get fried if I can't have myself an ice-cold dope. And cigarettes. I surely do appreciate a smoke. Dopes and smokes and Henry are the only things I love." "You like me some, don't you?" he said, without meaning really to speak aloud. In any case, Idabel ... did not answer.”
Truman Capote, Other Voices, Other Rooms

Truman Capote
“Let me begin by telling you that I was in love. An ordinary statement, to be sure, but not an ordinary fact, for so few of us learn that love is tenderness, and tenderness is not, as a fair proportion suspect, pity; and still fewer know that happiness in love is not the absolute focusing of emotion in another: one has always to love a good many things which the beloved must come only to symbolize; the true beloveds of this world are in their lover's eyes lilac opening, ship lights, school bells, a landscape, remembered conversations, friends, a child's Sunday, lost voices, one's favorite suit, autumn and all seasons, memory, yes, it being the earth and water of existence, memory. A nostalgic list, but then, of course, where could one find a more nostalgic subject?”
