He then learns that in going down into the secrets of his own mind he has descended into the secrets of all minds. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough. Not only have I found that when I talk to the little flower or to the little peanut they will give up their secrets, but I have found that when I silently commune with people they give up their secrets also – if you love them enough. – George Washington Carver

To have found you is a dear happiness; and to be Apollos son is beyond all my hopes; but there is something I want to say to you alone. Come; this is a private matter between us two – anything you tell me shall be as secret as the grave. – Euripides
