“Our secrets are like mushrooms- they grow larger and larger while they are sequestered in the dark.”
There are certain things in a man’s past which he does not divulge to everybody but, perhaps, only to his friends. Again, there are certain things he will not divulge even to his friends; he will divulge them perhaps only to himself, and that, too, as a secret.
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky
They only thought they had lost their egoism and fear; they only thought they had humbled themselves. But they had not learned enough of humility, fearlessness and honesty, in the sense we find it necessary, until they told someone else ai// their life story.
