Gratitude fills us with rejoicing, for it so rarely finds frank expression; delicacy of feeling warms our hearts. - Stefan Zweig

Ungeduld des Herzens.

Confidences are always risky: a secret entrusted to a stranger make him less of one. You've given away something of yourself, given him the advantage.

When one does another person an injustice, in some mysterious way it does one good to discover (or to persuade oneself) that the injured party has also behaved badly or unfairly in some little matter or other; it is always a relief to the conscience if one can apportion some measure of guilt to the person one has betrayed.
