“The bottom line is this: You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can’t, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world. The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way people look at reality, then you can change it.”
One of my absoloute favourite quotes on writing, by American writer and activist James Baldwin (1924 – 1987), who famously covered topics as important as sexuality, race, and class.
