From you, I can come without having to wear masks or act, without having to sell even the smallest part of my inner world.

With you, I don’t have to justify myself, I don’t have to defend myself, I don’t have to provide proof.

I am grateful to you because you accept me as I am.

What use is a friend who judges me?

If I invite a cripple to my table, I ask him to sit down; I certainly don’t ask him to dance.
