Famous quotes containing the word secret:

    Crime is a fact of the human species, a fact of that specieas alone, but it is above all the secret aspect, impenetrable and hidden. Crime hides, and by far the most terrifying things are those which elude us.
    Georges Bataille (1897–1962)

    You know there are no secrets in America. It’s quite different in England, where people think of a secret as a shared relation between two people.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
