Affairs Quotes
On privacy, patience, and knowing when a situation calls for bold action.
These affairs quotes cover ground from personal boundaries, like not wanting to meddle in one's own private affairs, to a sharper observation that a certain slowness can ripen affairs while a different kind of slowness lets them rot. Our Internal quotes touch on related themes of what stays private.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of 'affairs' do these quotes discuss?
The word is used broadly here, covering private personal matters, general life circumstances, and even the title of a creative work, rather than referring to one specific type of affair.
Is there a quote about not wanting to interfere in someone else's business?
Yes, one speaker says they don't like to meddle in their own private affairs, which reads more as a statement about self-restraint than about other people's business.
What does the quote about slowness ripening or rotting affairs mean?
It draws a distinction between patience that lets a situation develop properly and delay that lets it go bad, suggesting timing matters as much as the decision itself.
Is 'Internal Affairs' a reference to a specific project?
Yes, one quote identifies 'Internal Affairs' as the speaker's first full-length play, giving that phrase a creative, rather than political or personal, meaning here.
Is there a quote about taking drastic action?
Yes, one states plainly that desperate affairs require desperate measures, a classic line about matching the scale of a response to the seriousness of the situation. Our Desperate quotes build on that idea.
One quote even nods to a specific creative project titled 'Internal Affairs,' described as a first full-length play. For the more urgent tone found elsewhere on this page, see our Desperate quotes.
