The two roles are completely unattached. When you are standing in the pulpit, you must sound as though you know what you’re talking about. When you’re writing, you’re trying to find out something that you don’t know. The whole language of writing for me is finding out what you don’t want to know, what you don’t want to find out. But something forces you to anyway.
True and wonderful.
I’m glad you like this quote from James Baldwin. He was truly an important writer.
I’ve only read some of his work, a long time ago. I will have to read some more.
He’s worth revisiting.
Thanks, I will.
You are right, thanks for telling us.
I’m glad you agree with him.
