James Baldwin on writing with purpose

 

“You write in order to change the world … if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way people look at the reality, then you can change it.” --James Baldwin [source]

As a blogger, I find these words both encouraging (in that it says this activity is worthwhile) and challenging (in that it ups the stakes).
