A man who for a long time has gone around hiding a secret becomes mentally deranged. At this point one would imagine that his secret would have to come out, but despite his derangement his soul still sticks to its hideout, and those around him become even more convinced that the false story he told to deceive them is the truth. He is healed of his insanity, knows everything that has gone on, and thereby perceives that nothing has been betrayed. Was this gratifying to him or not; he might wish to have disposed of his secret in his madness; it seems as if there were a fate which forced him to remain in his secret and would not let him go away from it. Or was it for the best, was there a guardian spirit who helped him keep his secret.

I saw an advertisement the other day for the secret of life. It said "The secret of life can be yours for twenty-five shillings. Sent to Secret of Life Institute, Willesden." So I wrote away, seemed a good bargain, secret of life, twenty-five shillings. And I got a letter back saying, "If you think you can get the secret of life for twenty-five shillings, you don't deserve to have it. Send fifty shillings for the secret of life."

Dear GP Morons (Which Is a Redundancy)
The Secret Service has been provided the link to the game, so the agent, and the Secret Service can make a decision with all the information. Your own Dennis McCauley said it might violate the law, and in fact it does. Your position is that the Secret Service shouldn't even know about this. What a stupid, idiotic position that is.
I worked with the Secret Service on another matter about four months ago regarding a video gamer, and they successfully shut him down, along with what he was doing illegally.
But you all wouldn't know, and you don't care.
Welcome to the real world, kids, where adults get things done while the rest of you waste your lives with "games." Jack Thompson

The Secret of the Occult Sciences is that of Nature itself, the Secret of the generation of the Angels and Worlds, that of the Omnipotence of God.

The secret to so many artists living so long is that every painting is a new adventure. So, you see, they're always looking ahead to something new and exciting. The secret is not to look back.
