Love is the key to liberation: the work of Baldwin on the loss of a loved one and the redemption of the world: a biography of Baldwin
All of his writing — no matter how pointed, critical or angry — is imbued with love. He understood that love is the key to liberation and was determined to convince the rest of us.

The world is held together — really it is held together — by the love and the passion of a very few people.”
