Secrecy lies at the very core of power.

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

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

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

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.

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

There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.

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.
