Edmund WhiteThe most important things in our intimate lives can't be discussed with strangers, except in books.
About This Quote
While books can be very useful in communicating with family, friends or significant others, they are not the best place to share the most intimate details of our lives. There are many things that can be shared with family, friends and significant others that are too personal or too sensitive to be shared with strangers or people you don't know well. These things may include sexual orientation, how you feel about yourself, your values and beliefs, your hopes for the future and how you spend your time.
