A secret is a strange thing.
Sometimes, some rare times,
a secret stays undiscovered because it is something too big for the mind to hold.
It is too strange,
too vast,
too terrifying to contemplate.

All of us have secrets in life.
We're keepers or kept from, players or played.
Secrets and cockroaches
-- that's what will be left at the end of it all.

-- Secrets.
The Dream Thieves, Maggie Stiefvater.
