It isn't only famous movie stars who want to be alone. Whenever I hear someone speak of privacy, I find myself thinking once again how real and deep the need for such times is for all human beings . . . at all ages.

أن اغلب الناس يبغون من كل من في الأرض أن يتغيروا إلا انفسهم، وانه من الأيسر لك أن تتغير من نفسك عن ان تغير أحدا.

The demands that good people make are upon themselves;
Those that bad people make are upon others.

Privacy is not something that I'm merely entitled to, it's an absolute prerequisite.

People want to change everything and, at the same time, want it all to remain the same.

Il faut exiger de chacun ce que chacun peut donner

One always wants what is good for oneself, but one does not always see it. The people is never corrupted, but it is often fooled, and only then does it appear to want what is bad.

People may or may not say what they mean... but they always say something designed to get what they want.

And sometimes, if you want the truth, you have to demand it.

You exaggerate everything. You continually force the truth because you're always looking for something.

Since every individual is accountable ultimately to the self, the formation of that self demands our utmost care and attention.

The urge to escape from selfhood and the environment is in almost everyone almost all the time.

All over, people were seeking “freedom” and “happiness” somewhere behind themselves, out of the sheer fear of being reminded of their own responsibilities and being admonished to travel their own path.

People want what they can’t have. People want what other people want. People want things only a select few have access to.
