E. Lockhart
Secrets are more powerful when people know you've got them, said Mr. Sutton. You show them the tiniest edge of your secret, but the rest you keep under wraps.
E. Lockhart
We can't know or say what other people do. You have to think what you want to do to get the situation where you want it to be.
