sun1.jpgI shall ask into my shell only those friends with whom I can be completely honest.  I find I am shedding hypocrisy in human relationships.  What a rest that will be!  The most exhausting thing in life, I have discovered, is being insincere.  That is shy so much of social life is exhausting; one is wearing a mask.  I have shed my mask.”

– Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea
