I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same mind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of light and speech, and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear.
George EliotPride helps us; and pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our own hurts—not to hurt others.
