It is difficult to imagine how any behavior in the presence of another person can avoid being a communication of one's own view of the nature of one's relationship with that person and how it can fail to influence that person.

What does music mean to me? I don't think I would really be much without it without it coming through me. It's my means of communication my means of growth my means of transportation from one point in my life to another.

He that communicates his secret to another makes himself that other's slave.
