“One has to stop holding back for
fear of alienating some imaginary reader or real relative or friend, and come
out with personal truth. If we are to accept ourselves in all the complexity,
self-doubt, extravagance of feeling, guilt, joy, the slow freeing of the self
to its full capacity for action and creation, both as human being and as artist,
we have to know all we can about each other, and we have to be willing to go
naked”.
~May Sarton
