I think we left out one of the really important elements contributing to the dynamism of society, and that is the right to privacy. I mean something more than the right to shave in private. I mean the right to join what I want to join, to do what I want to do, or not to do what I might do without giving anyone a reason, either in advance or afterwards. That does not mean that I am seeking for irresponsibility socially. - Chester I. Barnard, in "Basic Elements of a Free Dynamic Society," in "Harvard Business Review," Nov., 1951 The makers of our Constitution conferred, as against the Government, the right to be let alone--the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men. - Louis D. Brandeis, Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438, 478 (1928) If I want to put my tits on my back, it's nobody's business but my own. - Cher, on ABC's television show "Primetime Thursday" A man's home is no longer his castle; it is no longer a place away from urgent tasks because the telephone breaches the walls with imperious demands. - Charles E. Hummel, The Tyranny of the Urgent As lacking privacy as a goldfish. - Old American Saying I make my own time. I make my own terms. I cannot see how God or Nature can ever get the start of me. - Henry David Thoreau, Thoreau's Journal of 1841 We live thick and are in each other's way, and stumble over one another, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another. - Henry David Thoreau, Walden The fantastic advances in the field of electronic communication constitute a greater danger to the privacy of the individual. - Earl Warren
