“Secrets affect you more than you’d think. You lie to keep them hidden. You steer talk away from them. You worry someone’ll discover yours and tell the world. You think you are in charge of the secret, but isn’t it the secret who’s actually using you?”
― David Mitchell, Black Swan Green

“The secret to a happiness is a small ego. And a big wallet. Good wine helps, too. But that's not really a secret, is it?”
― Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

“for any thing so overdone is
from the purpose of playing, whose end, both at the
first and now, was and is, to hold, as 'twere, the
mirror up to nature;”
― William Shakespeare

“When people listen they make a listening noise.”
― David Mitchell, Black Swan Green
