“Nothing makes us so lonely as our secrets.”
“Nothing weighs on us so heavily as a secret.”
“Nothing will make us so charitable and tender to the faults of others as by self-examination thoroughly to know our own.”
“We love our secrets; anything hidden is so dear to us, we who are always on display”
“The feeling that we are all neglected and lonely but not so lonely that "others" do not see us in trouble, saves us from the worst suffering.”
“It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us...There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you...We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.”
