Love takes off the masks ...

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/177066-love-takes-off-the-masks-that-we-fear-we-cannot

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 American sense of being made happy
but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.

~ James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time
