![“[Y]ou never come right out and admit you have stretched the rules for your own benefit. You do it and shut up about it, and hope you don't get caught, because if you are caught no one or no one who has any sense will come forward and say he has done the same thing himself.” quote by Janet Malcolm](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/947/janet-malcolm-10933_benefits_y-ou-never-come-right-out-and-admit-you_2288598.jpg)
