Who said “A confession has to be part of your new life.”?

“There is no refuge from confession but suicide; and suicide is confession.”

“Literary confessors are contemptible, like beggars who exhibit their sores for money, but not so contemptible as the public that buys their books.”

“The confession of our failings is a thankless office. It savors less of sincerity or modesty than of ostentation. It seems as if we thought our weaknesses as good as other people's virtues.”

“If any ambitious man have a fancy to revolutionize, at one effort, the universal world of human thought, human opinion, and human sentiment, the opportunity is his own -- the road to immortal renown lies straight, open, and unencumbered before him. All that he has to do is to write and publish a very little book. Its title should be simple -- a few plain words -- ''My Heart Laid Bare.'' But -- this little book must be true to its title.”

“He that jokes confesses.”

“Our greatest stupidities may be very wise.”

“For a truly religious man nothing is tragic.”

“Knowledge is in the end based on acknowledgement.”

“Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to lie.”

“The human body is the best picture of the human soul.”

“You get tragedy where the tree, instead of bending, breaks.”
