this quote is damaging to people with mental health problems. (but I love the rest of dharma quotes)

I've seen one quote that might be damaging to people in need of mental help. As a psychologist, I'm all for good quotes and a little pespective, but the following quote had me stumble a bit:
Mental afflictions really want to express themselves, like novice actors really want to get on stage Don't let them Keep them to yourself.
-B. Alan Wallace

I see what the point is, but In our current society, those that are in need of mental help already have an enormous barrier to even dare to ask for help, let alone actually do it. These quotes could damage a person in that situation.

Therefor, maybe you might consider removing this particular quote.

That said, I love most quotes and either enjoyed or have been able to reflect on others, so thank you for this program. It's amazing.

kind regards,
