If you read somebody’s diary, you get what you deserve.

We must not always talk in the marketplace of what happens to us in the forest.

Nothing is hidden from the eyes of the observing world.

There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.

Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.

It was funny how I could feel all alone and under surveillance at the same time.

A regime which combines perpetual surveillance with total indulgence is hardly conducive to healthy development.

Even a paranoid can have enemies.

Secrecy lies at the very core of power.

Secrets define us, they mark us, they set us apart from all the others. The secrets which we preserve provide a key to who we are, deep down.

Secrets are rarely betrayed or discovered according to any program our fear has sketched out.

The life of spies is to know, not be known.

There is a sickness among tyrants: they cannot trust their friends.
