Zitat des Tages über Zurückhaltung / Reticence:
There is a probably natural and learned reticence with myself talking about my early life.
It is not a life at all. It is a reticence, in three volumes.
I always, by an involuntary act of defensiveness, return to my everyday self: so, I find, have I withdrawn from writing about experiences which have most closely concerned and disturbed me. I have been deflected by my own reticence.
