They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them &#8211; words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they&#8217;re brought out. But it&#8217;s more than that, isn&#8217;t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you&#8217;ve said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That&#8217;s the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller, but for want of an understanding ear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"\" align=\"justify\">Stephen King<\/p>\n<p><font style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"\" align=\"justify\">\n<p><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most important things are the hardest things to say.
