![“[Revealing character] can't be done by pushing the person into position or arranging his head at a certain angle. It must be accomplished by provoking the victim, amusing him with jokes, lulling him with silence, or asking impertinent questions which his best friend would be afraid to voice.” quote by Philippe Halsman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5b6/philippe-halsman-25175_accomplished_revealing-character-can-t-be-done-by-pus_1052719.jpg)
