What I don’t get is why we don’t confide our secrets to a human being,
but we spill our hearts to a paper and pencil.
You say that the paper can’t talk.
I say a human being can lie.
You say that the paper can hide.
I say a human being can disguise.
You say the paper can’t feel.
I say a human being can feel, and that makes all the difference.

The author's comments:
I've always wondered why we hesitate when telling your closest friend something personal, but never hesitate when writing in a diary.

Boy, when you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery.  People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody. ~J.D. Salinger,The Catcher in the Rye,
