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.

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

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.

To know all is not to forgive all. It is to despise everybody.

For sooner will men hold fire in their mouths than keep a secret.

There is nothing makes a man suspect much, more than to know little.

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

Secrecy lies at the very core of power.

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