Secrets can be poisonous.

Secrets are always never as well kept as people think they are. More often than not when you reveal something, especially the bigger it is, people always had some inkling, or they're like, "Well, yeah, of course."

It's always fun to try something new, and to play a new character, and it's fun to play another period.

As your life goes on you should gain a deeper understanding of the world and the people moving through it; but that might be asking too much.

[Rumors are a] vehicle for anxieties and aspirations that may not be openly expressed.

Revenge is a really narrow scope through which to view things. In the same way secrets do, it has this ability to warp everything. But secrets are more inward, and revenge is outward.

The sad thing is that often when you expose your secrets and become more honest with yourself, you find the reaction from the outside world is more complicated than the intense guilt you yourself have inflicted.
