“Talking much about oneself may be a way of hiding oneself”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“The most important things ever said are the things you've said to yourself.”
Jeffrey Benjamin
“Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself.”
“One of life's primal situations; the game of hide and seek. Oh, the delicious thrill of hiding while the others come looking for you, the delicious terror of being discovered, but what panic when, after a long search, the others abandon you! You mustn't hide too well. You mustn't be too good at the game. The player must never be bigger than the game itself.”
Jean Baudrillard
“The miser and the glutton are two facetious buzzards: one hides his store, and the other stores his hide”
Josh Billings
“Society is a masked ball, where every one hides his real character, and reveals it by hiding”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“There are no grades of vanity, there are only grades of ability in concealing it”
Mark Twain
