Man is what he hides


« Pour l'essentiel, l'homme est ce qu'il cache ... Un miserable petit tas de secrets. » - André Malraux, Les Noyers de l'Altenburg.

"Fundamentally, man is what he hides ... A wretched little pile of secrets."

So it is up to the historian, the psychiatrist or the detective biographer to piece together the story.
