About This Quote
Death, you know, keeps secrets better even than a guilty Roman. A guilty Roman is someone who is afraid of punishment and tries to hide his or her guilt. If we fear the deaths of those we love and fear that we will be left alone after they die, we often keep our secrets well. The more we fear death the harder it is to let go and accept the inevitable.
A secret can stay hidden for a very long time but eventually it has to be revealed, whether it’s good or bad. We all must eventually face death or those we love will cease to exist.
