“To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.”

“Take nothing on its looks; take everything on evidence. There's no better rule.”

“Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who, with their soul, encourages another person to be brave and true.”
