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

  • There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment the time is always now.

  • The future is like heaven, everyone exalts it, but no one wants to go there now.

  • Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.

  • People are trapped in history and history is trapped in them.
