Privacy Rights Quotes

“Our privacy can serve as a form of protection during times of crisis and can offer a polite boundary of respect and good manners during times of tranquility.”

“Ovunque la privacy venga violata, ovunque una violazione sia comunque sentita come tale, si può prevedere una reazione nel senso della chiusura, sia all'interno della famiglia, sia, allargando il cerchio, etnocentrica e nazionalistica, perciò virtualmente xenofoba: non diretta contro lo straniero in quanto tale ma, paradossalmente, contro la potenza tecnica anonima (straniera alla lingua e alla religione, oltre che alla famiglia e alla nazione) che minaccia, insieme alla «privacy», le condizioni tradizionali dell'ospitalità.

“There really was nothing else like it on earth. Nothing else he’d ever experienced before, anyhow.

Whereas some folks were built to avoid such drama by nature, Pat lived for this kind of thing. He’d been born for it.”

“It was a high no booze or drug could ever hope to achieve in similar doses, though if he could bottle that feeling for himself and the world, he wouldn’t hesitate at all. It was simply unlike anything else he’d ever felt before, and not being able to tell anyone what he’d done only made the adventure that much more incredible.”
