Quote by J.K. Rowling
Because to confide a part of your soul to something that can think and move for itself is obviously a very risky business.
Summary
This quote underscores the inherent vulnerability and risk involved in entrusting another being with a piece of our utmost personal selves. It suggests that when we share and confide our deepest emotions, thoughts, or secrets with something that possesses independent thought and action, there is the potential for both positive outcomes and negative consequences. This could refer to confiding in a person who can potentially betray or misuse the information, or even an inanimate object like a journal, which can "think" by retaining our thoughts and "move for itself" by potentially being discovered or taken.
