Commonplace Book

'...A confidence should never be received either as a surprise, an indiscretion, an apology, or a hostage. It is something understood yet scarcely heard, something unforgettable yet too little our own to be trusted even to the memory; uttered, it must be as though it had never been told; at each rehearing it must seem more distant and delicate.'

from Love and the Soul Hunters by John Oliver Hobbes (Chapter XI)
