[quote them] Oscar Wilde

Anne Hathaway, on the media's interest in her personal life, quotes Oscar Wilde:

"The less said about life's sores the better."

Do you agree?  I personally think it is one of those context-requiring quotes.  For surely in some contexts, it is best if not so many people know of your "life's sores," but on the other hand, you have to share it with someone to heal it.  That is, some "sores" are too serious, you need to tell a doctor and let him/her treat it so that it can heal.  What do you guys think?
