The line between the public life and the private life has been erased, due to the rapid decline of manners and courtesy. There is a certain crudeness and crassness that has suddenly become accepted behavior, even desirable.

About This Quote

In the past, people who were considered to be rude or uncouth didn’t make it far. They had to keep things private and not dare to let the public know what they were thinking. But, this is no longer the case. We live in a more and more open-minded society where people feel free to say and do whatever they want without fear of repercussions.
