Henry KissingerIf you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.
Khalil GibranFor the chorus of ‚Secrets,‘ we used The Romantics‘ ‚Talking in Your Sleep‘ and ‚Pale Shelter‘ by Tears for Fears. It’s like hip-hop: just grab it.
The WeekndPerhaps people like us cannot love. Ordinary people can – that is their secret.
Hermann HesseDon’t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets; art deserves that, for it and knowledge can raise man to the Divine.
