You know that if you get in the water and have nothing to hold on to, but try to behave as you would on dry land, you will drown. But if, on the other hand, you trust yourself to the water and let go, you will float, find this exactly the situation of faith.

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

-Deep Trivedi

-Robert Brault
