From our
Magic Words outpost:
"Sometimes it is better for certain secrets to remain veiled by arcane
words. The secrets of nature are not transmitted on skins of goat or
sheep. Aristotle says in the book of secrets that communicating too
many arcana of nature and art breaks a celestial seal and many evils can
ensue. Which does not mean that secrets must not be revealed, but that
the learned must decide when and how." —
Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose
