“ It needs courage to reveal oneself as one truly is, it needs courage not to want to purchase one’s freedom from a little humiliation when one can do that through a certain secretiveness, not to want to purchase oneself a little addition to one’s stature when one can do that by being reticent. It needs courage to want to be healthy, to want the truth in all honesty and candour. ”
