"but oh! the blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak
fearless on any subject; with whom one's deepest as well as one's most
foolish thoughts come out simply and safely. oh, the comfort - the
inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to
weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as
they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take
and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of
kindness blow the rest away."
~~~ dinah maria mulock craik, a life for a life, 1866 ~~~
