“The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant.”
“Books educate people and educated people ask awkward questions of those who govern them. The educated, in short, are considered ungovernable. Better to keep people ignorant of the past and to concentrate their minds on the utopia that lies ahead.”
“Of course I can keep secrets. It's the people I tell them to who can't keep them.”
“The secret of happiness is freedom, the secret of freedom is courage.”
“And that was the thing about truths and secrets. Sometimes the truth didn't need to be known. The lie was healthier than the truth and, while some secrets could set people free, other secrets could destroy them.”
“It wasn't just love that held people together. There was secrets, and the price you paid to keep them.”
