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

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

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

Guard more faithfully the secret which is confided to you than the money which is entrusted to your care.

Nothing is hidden from the eyes of the observing world.

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

Once suspicion is aroused, everything feeds it.

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

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