&ldquo;The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they&#039;re brought out. But it&#039;s more than that, isn&#039;t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you&#039;ve said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That&#039;s the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a tellar but for want of an understanding ear.&rdquo; <br /> ― Stephen King, Different Seasons
