Official Secrets

Famous quotes containing the words official and/or secrets:

    All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    When I moved in with a bathing suit and tea bags
    the ocean rumbled like a train backing up
    and at each window secrets came in
    like gas.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
