And if my secret self, that which can be revealed only to the other, to the wholly other, to God if you wish, is a secret that I will never reflect on, 
that I will never know or experience or possess as my own, then what sense is there in saying that it is “my” secret, 
or in saying more generally that a secret belongs, that it is proper to or belongs to some “one”, or to some other who remains someone?
Derrida, The Gift of Death

But I would make of this trans-political principle a political principle, a political rule or position taking: it is necessary 
also in politics to respect the secret, that which exceeds the political or that which is no longer in the juridical domain.
This is what I would call the “democracy to come”.
Derrida, On Cosmopolitanism and Forgiveness
