Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time (via saras-scrapbook)

After some time you learn the difference,The subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul.And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning,And company doesn’t always mean security.And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts,And presents aren’t promises. William Shakespeare  (via sealegwaltz)
