Famous quotes containing the word privacy:

    “The East is the hearthside of America. Like any home, therefore, it has the defects of its virtues. Because it is a long-lived-in house, it bursts its seams, is inconvenient, needs constant refurbishing. And some of the family resources have been spent. To attain the privacy that grown-up people find so desirable, Easterners live a harder life than people elsewhere. Today it is we and not the frontiersman who must be rugged to survive.”
    —Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)

    “There is a privacy I love in this snowy night.
    Driving around, I will waste more time.”
    —Robert Bly (b. 1926)

    “All violations of essential privacy are brutalizing.”
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
