John Kenneth Galbraith

Private opinion creates public opinion. Public opinion overflows eventually into national behavior as things are arranged at present, can make or mar the world. That is why private opinion, and private behavior, and private conversation are so terrifyingly important.

Jan Struther

There are no private lives. This a most important aspect of modern life.

That we must reasonably now all regard the fact that there are no secrets and nothing is private. Everything is public.

Philip K. Dick

When someone takes a private photo, on a private cell phone, it should remain just that: private.
