I think about this quote from the Luddite movement all the time
John Booth, a 19-year-old apprentice who joined a Luddite attack on a textile mill in April 1812. He was injured, detained and died after being allegedly tortured to give up the identity of his fellow Luddites. Booth's last words became a legend: "Can you keep a secret?" he whispered to the local priest, who attested that he could. The dying Booth replied, "So can I."
