A delightful new juvenile fiction book called Paperboy by Vince Vawter, about the struggles of a young boy who stuttered, contains a line from Voltaire - "Speech was given to man to disguise his thoughts".
I've thought a lot about that quote.
How often do we say the direct opposite from what is flitting through our minds?
Grin or grimace inwardly.
If they only knew.
