Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible
comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts
nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and
grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest
away.
--George Eliot
