"It isn’t pleasant or convenient to have strong passions. I have the uncomfortable feeling that I am carrying a volcano about with me. My salvation is in being loved. There surely never lived a man with whom love was a more critical matter than it is with me. I have to guard my emotions from painful overflow… Plenty of people offer me their friendship; but-partly because I am reserved and shy, and partly because i am fastidious and have a narrow, uncatholic taste in friends-I reject the offer in almost every case; and then am dismayed to look about and see how few persons in the world stand near me and know me as I am." -Woodrow Wilson
