I don't know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public; they forget that invisibility is a superpower.
For such will be our ruin if you, in the immensity of your public abstractions, forget the private figure, or if we in the intensity of our private emotions forget the public world.

Invitations to speak upon public occasions are among my most grievous embarrassments. Why is it inferred that one is or can be a public speaker because she has written a book?

Power lies in the details, and the tenacious pursuit of such hidden levers can pay off enormously.

You may think you are the world's greatest speaker, but if the auditorium's sound system is singing static - well, forget it.
My life, I swear, is, like, 75% public. I have a very small percentage of my life that is private. But I do keep that private life private.
I'm a very private person. Very private. You know, I've lived my entire life in a fishbowl, so it was important for me to keep my personal life private because people can't talk about what they don't know.
