"I think now that if I had had any intimation that the self I was going to find would turn out to be only the same self from which I had spent so much time in flight, I would've stayed at home." (On the phrase "finding yourself")
"Somebody, your father or mine, should have told us that not many people have ever died of love, but multitudes have perished, and are perishing every hour, and in the oddest places, for the lack of it." (Made me ask, is this true? Think of women dying from love/at the hands of their partners)
"I've made all the discoveries that I can stand"
"I had thought of suicide when I was much younger, as possibly we all have, but then it would have been for revenge. It would have been my way of informing the world how awfully it had made me suffer "

okay revisiting this one, gave it an extra star due to how much i thought about this book after reading it. James Baldwin is one of the greats, his prose is beautifully written and the story offers so much commentary on the queer experience, so much of which is still relevant now especially with this era of political regression and the rise of conservatism.
