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.

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

Even a paranoid can have enemies.

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

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

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

Once suspicion is aroused, everything feeds it.

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

Secrecy lies at the very core of power.
