Private Life Quotes

What stays behind closed doors.

These private life quotes speak to the discipline of keeping personal matters separate from a public career, a boundary some guard closely and never let others keep track of. Others simply prefer to stay quiet about their own ups and downs.

Even though we work in the same field, we have an intense private life away from our professional lives.
