The personal life of every individual is based on secrecy, and perhaps it is partly for that reason that civilized man is so nervously anxious that personal privacy should be respected. Anton Chekhov
If you would be known and not know, vegetate in a village. If you would know and not be known, live in a city. Charles Caleb Colton
We are rapidly entering the age of no privacy, where everyone is open to surveillance at all times; where there are no secrets from government. -William G. Douglas
I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is all the difference. Greta Garbo
Things have come to a pretty pass when religion is allowed to invade the sphere of private life.- Viscount Melbourne
The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the force of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storms may enter, the rain may enter, - but the King of England cannot enter; all his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! William Pitt
