Official Secrets Acts

Famous quotes containing the words official, secrets and/or acts:

    I know one husband and wife who, whatever the official reasons given to the court for the break up of their marriage, were really divorced because the husband believed that nobody ought to read while he was talking and the wife that nobody ought to talk while she was reading.
    Vera Brittain (1893–1970)

    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)

    To the man who cherishes a secret in his breast, there is a still greater secret unexplored. Our most indifferent acts may be a matter for secrecy, but whatever we do with the utmost truthfulness and integrity, by virtue of its pureness, must be transparent as light.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
