—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

“There is nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation!... A human being, Hastings, cannot resist the opportunity to reveal himself and express his personality which conversation gives him. Every time he will give himself away.”
