Voice of the Day: James Baldwin
by God's Politics Editor 02-09-2010 | 1:00pm
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 the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace -- not in the infantile ... sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.
- James Baldwin
from his book The Fire Next Time
