Oxherd Boy the sea rises the light fails lovers cling to each other and children cling to us the moment we cease to hold each other the moment we break faith with one another the sea engulfs us and the light goes out James Baldwin quote Inspiring quotes beautiful illustration chinese painting japanese style painting

From James Baldwin's collaborative book of essays with Richard Avedon's photography, "Nothing Personal," comes a timeless message that touches my mind and heart about the relentlessness of human existence and why saying Yes to life is what keeps our light shining amid the darkness.
