"The basest of all human needs is the need to confide, to confess. It is the soul’s need to go outside itself.
All right, confess, but confess only what you do not feel. Free your soul from the weight of all your secrets by speaking them out loud; but how much better if you had never uttered the secret you revealed. Lie to yourself rather than utter the truth. To express oneself is always a mistake. Be aware of this and in yourself make self-expression the twin of lying."
