Once suspicion is aroused, everything feeds it.

Even a paranoid can have enemies.

Secrecy lies at the very core of power.

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

If the world were good for nothing else, it is a fine subject for speculation.

I will never again command an army in America if we must carry along paid spies. I will banish myself to some foreign country first.

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

Nothing is hidden from the eyes of the observing world.

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

There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.

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

The first duty of a good inquisitor is to suspect especially those who seem sincere to him.

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.
