People Quotes
Quotes about people, privacy, and human nature.
This page collects quotes touching on people in different senses - novelists describing how characters take on independent vitality, and technologists warning how easily people's movements and data can be tracked. It's a broader mix than a single theme, much like Like Quotes.
