“Of what I know of life, in any moment, you run three vital risks-the risk of being yourself, the risk of not being yourself and the risk
itself. I would stress most on the third kind. It is the game itself that draws its modest players inward. The “risk” to hide out in a world where masks are normative, the “risk” to play the oppressor, the
“risk” to risk your truth one more day in life, the “risk” to not risk your lie.”
