Asked during an interview, “Are you still in despair about the world?” James Baldwin responded: “I never have been in despair about the world. I’ve been enraged by it. I don’t think I’m in despair. I can’t afford despair. I can’t tell my nephew, my niece. You can’t tell the children there’s no hope.”

Don't have despair in this moment. Be enraged by it.
