Shared Secret Key

Famous quotes containing the words shared, secret and/or key:

    “The danger lies in forgetting what we had. The flow between generations becomes a trickle, grandchildren tape-recording grandparents’ memories on special occasions perhaps—no casual storytelling jogged by daily life, there being no shared daily life what with migrations, exiles, diasporas, rendings, the search for work. Or there is a shared daily life riddled with holes of silence.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “The great secret is no secret
    Senses fit the winds,
    Visible is visible,
    rain-mist curtains wave through the bearded vale,
    grey atoms wet the wind’s Kaballah”
    —Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    “The safety of the republic being the supreme law, and Texas having offered us the key to the safety of our country from all foreign intrigues and diplomacy, I say accept the key ... and bolt the door at once.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
