“There's this quote by a writer, Emil Cioran, he's a Romanian writer. He says that you should only put things in books that you would never dare to say to people in real life.

Because then I would start censoring myself.” PeopleThinkingKindBookRealFeelingsSurvivalDareReal LifeEmbarrassment Author:Steve Toltz
