'It is the little thing, the unrehearsed gesture, the catch in the breath, the droop of the lip, the start of surprise, which really reveals. We may analyze ourselves in volumes and remain undiscovered; and then - by a yawn, a tilt of the head, a sob of exhaustion, a flash of hate - we are betrayed and unmasked forever.'
from Confessions by John Cowper Powys (Chapter I), in Confessions of Two Brothers by John Cowper Powys and Llewelyn Powys
