Quote examples
Paula Hawkins
American Politician
The sort of enjoyment that we all get from that voyeuristic impulse of looking into other people's house as we pass them, and the idea that there might be something sinister or strange going on in the houses we pass every day or in our neighborhood, is a very compelling idea.
Quote examples
Neil deGrasse Tyson
American Scientist
Not enough books focus on how a culture responds to radically new ideas or discovery. Especially in the biography genre, they tend to focus on all the sordid details in the life of the person who made the discovery. I find this path to be voyeuristic but not enlightening.
Quote examples
Donny Osmond
American Musician
When there's an accident, we all have to slow down and watch the accident. We all have to be a little voyeuristic. I mean, look at the world we live in now, with all these 'Big Brother' shows. We're all a bunch of voyeuristic people.
Quote examples
Haskell Wexler
American Director

The public is in need of experiences that are not just voyeuristic. Our society is in a mess of losing its spiritual centre.

Shabana Azmi
Indian Actress
Vulgar lyrics and suggestive, voyeuristic camera angles do not celebrate a woman's sexuality, they actually objectify her.

Courtney Barnett
Australian Musician
I like reading biographies because most of them are slightly similar, and it's voyeuristic, looking into someone's life.
