“Some secrets are better left at that -as secrets.”

“Some secrets, she thought, were better told; some were better left the burden of the carrier, that they might not cause pain to others.”

“The more that's known about the world, the more people seem determined to search for what is lost or hidden. There are archaeologists, treasure hunters, and ghost hunters--the legions of the curious--searching for secrets and the places that hold them. They ignore the possibility that some secrets are best kept, some places better left untouched....”

“Some of them will welcome me as small boys do a teacher, telling me the little secrets better to conceal the big ones.For I tell you, that secrets are not kept by being secretive;”

“Keep secret things secret and they will serve you the better!”

“There are no secrets better kept than the secrets that everybody guesses.”
