from IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK Neither love nor terror makes one blind:
indifference makes one blind.
James Baldwin
We talk of being blinded by love, and of blind terror. But James Baldwin (1924 – 1987), the great American writer, poet, and activist, is right, in these words, taken from his novel If Beale Street CouldTalk. Not to care is not to notice. Care enough to see what matters.
