Daniel supposed he had a secret life. Most people did; it was hardly possible to live without one.

Always guarding one's real, precious self in a cocoon of tranquility within a thousand masks.

People can do what they like in the privacy of their own homes.

Every marriage, every family, has its mysteries.
