A friend
"Oh the comfort, the inexplicable 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 then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away."
- Dinah Craik (1826-1887) in her novel "A Life for a Life" (1859)
