Famous quotes containing the words privacy and/or concerns:

    Any moral philosophy is exceedingly rare. This of Menu addresses our privacy more than most. It is a more private and familiar, and at the same time, a more public and universal word, than is spoken in parlor or pulpit nowadays.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort; rather, it concerns the basic human rights of family, country, justice and human dignity.
    Imelda Marcos (b. 1929)
