Select James A. Baldwin Quotations

James A. Baldwin
Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.

James A. Baldwin
Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.
James A. Baldwin

James A. Baldwin
