It seemed incredible to me now


“It seemed incredible to me now that I had never understood. I wondered how many people there were in the world who suffered, & continued to suffer, because they could not break out from their own web of shyness & reserve, & in their blindness & folly built up a great distorted wall in front of them that hid the truth. This was what I had done. I had built up false pictures in my mind & sat before them. I had never had the courage to demand the truth.”

Daphne Du Maurier
