James Baldwin Quote – Love
![](https://www.antarcticajournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/quotes-article-header.png)
“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and
know we cannot live within. I use the word love here not merely
in a personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace —
not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in
the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.”
– James Baldwin
