Quote by Mary Martin
Sometimes I think that I cheated my own family and my closest friends by giving to audiences so much of the love I might have kept for them. But that's the way I was made; I truly don't think I could help it
Summary
This quote reflects the internal conflict of feeling torn between sharing love and affection with a larger audience, while potentially neglecting one's own family and dearest friends. The individual expresses a sense of guilt for spreading their love beyond those closest to them. Despite this guilt, they believe that this inclination to love and connect with others is an intrinsic part of their personality, something they cannot control or change.
