Quote of the Day | 0112

People who can’t control their self-presentation—children, prisoners, celebrities who have lost their grip on their own stories—feel the pain of missing autonomy, missing adulthood. Someone else is deciding what they really meant; someone else decides which version is true and which others don’t count. So the opposite of privacy, as Kundera noted, isn’t some secretless glass-house Utopia of good government. It’s totalitarianism.
