George Eliot
Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person;
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them
all out, chaff and grain together, knowing 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.
