If you were lucky, very lucky indeed, there were one or two people in your life who you could tell the unvarnished truth too, shell and egg. And that these people held the essence of you inside them. The rest would be conversations that ended when night fell, or the dinner part ended. Julia Gregson
About This Quote

When he said “if you were lucky, very lucky indeed, there were one or two people in your life who you could tell the unvarnished truth too, shell and egg” he was speaking about the fact that great relationships exist between two people. Few people have the privilege of being able to be open with everyone they know. Those few fortunate friends are ones who can be completely honest with them. They are people who are completely true to themselves, caring enough about you to keep their thoughts to themselves.
