Revealing State Secrets

Famous quotes containing the words revealing, state and/or secrets:

    Something was still there, that something that distinguishes an artist from a performer: the revealing of self. Here I be. Not for long, but here I be. In sensing her mortality, we sensed our own.
    Studs Terkel (b. 1912)

    In the most high and palmy state of Rome,
    A little ere the mightiest Julius fell,
    The graves stood tenantless and the sheeted dead
    Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    When her husband clutches at her dress,
    she lowers her face,
    her modesty aroused.
    When he wants a wild embrace,
    she shyly secrets away
    her limbs.
    She can’t say a word
    and bestows her gaze
    on her beaming friends.
    A new wife suffers
    with shame
    the first time she makes love.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
