Never, never tell them. Try and remember that. Never tell anyone anything ever. Never tell anyone anything again.

Don't tell me what I'm doing; I don't want to know.

Never tell all you know — not even to the person you know best.

I can’t tell you just how wonderful she is. I don’t want you to know. I don’t want any one to know.

Don't make everyone know about your sadness.

Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.

Don't call yourself a secret
unless you mean to keep it.

If you don’t want a secret, don’t accept it.

Actually that’s my secret — I can’t even talk about you to anybody because I don’t want any more people to know how wonderful you are.

When I like people immensely I never tell their names to anyone. It is like surrendering a part of them. I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvelous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it. When I leave town now I never tell my people where I am going. If I did, I would lose all my pleasure. It is a silly habit, I daresay, but somehow it seems to bring a great deal of romance into one's life.

Why Am I Afraid To Tell You Who I Am?

They never tell you why they are doing anything. That way you don't find out they don't know themselves.

Don't tell people what you are thinking, or you will miss them terribly when you are away.

I should prefer that you do not mention my name at all in connection with this case, as I choose to be only associated with those crimes which present some difficulty in their solution.
