“If you're trying to keep it a secret, Miles, why are you going around telling everyone"?”

“How can you sleep
How can you turn away
Thinking so cheap?
Some day you're gonna pay!
You're keeping secrets
I can see in your eyes:
Can anybody tell me
Why the big disguise?”

“A neurosis is a secret that you don't know you're keeping.”

“If you have a problem and you're also successful, everyone does whatever they can to keep it going. I see that a lot.”

“Have you noticed that whatever sport you're trying to learn, some earnest person is always telling you to keep your knees bent?”

“Everyone has sorrow. Everyone has obligations. Everyone keeps going. You lean on the people who love you. You do the best you can, and you keep going.”

“You go to work the next day pretending nothing happened.
Your co-workers ask
if everything's okay and you tell them
you're just tired.
And you're trying to smile. And they're trying to smile.”

“If it was easy, everyone would do it rather than going around telling you their ideas and saying how they could be a writer if they had the time.”

“When you want the score
When you need a helping hand
And you find closed doors
And you're back where you began
Keeping those secrets
Telling those lies…
Can anybody tell me
What's the big surprise?”

“I'm not very good at keeping secrets at all! If you want your secret kept do not tell me!”
