Dostojevskij i Notes from Underground:

Every man has some reminiscences which he would not tell to everyone, but only to his friends. He has others which he would not reveal even to his friends, but only to himself, and that in secret. But finally there are still others which a man is even afraid to tell himself, and every decent man has a considerable number of such things stored away.

I alla avseenden riktigt. En intressant fråga är vilka kriterier vi använder när vi beslutar oss för att berätta. Också gällande när vi beslutar oss för att berätta för oss själva.
