Oops, forgot I hadn't posted a quote yet. Here you are! c:

"Stars, hide your fires; let not light see my black and deep desires. The eye wink at the hand, yet let that be which the eye fears, when it is done, to see."

This one is from a book. Number two in a very long series of books:
The pen is mightier than the sword ... if the sword is very short and the pen is very sharp.
