«Unsent letters carry a kind of cruelty. A letter is written as a space shared by two people; by not sending it, its writer claims the power to include and exclude the recipient simultaneously. Out of cowardice or control an act is performed in the name of casting or discretion. Unsent letters should never be written. But what difference is there between an unsent and an unwritten letter? Truth is already there.»
