I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart. - Charles Dickens And if, to be sure, sometimes you need to conceal a fact with words, do it in such a way that it does not become known, or, if it does become known, that you have a ready and quick defense. - Niccolo Machiavelli (Macchiavelli) It is art to conceal art.
