“People who achieve any eminence whatever are driven to do so; and there is always something terribly vulnerable about such people. They very soon discover that their eminence makes them an incitement and a target-it does not cause them to be loved. They are trapped on their hill. They cannot come down. They cannot bear obscurity as some organisms cannot bear light-death is what awaits then when they come down from the hill.”
James Baldwin, “Tell Me How Long the Train’s Been Gone”, 1968.
