| People in public relations sometimes use this analogy to explain their craft. When the circus comes to town and you paint a sign about it, that's advertising. Put the sign on the back of an elephant and march him through Beverley Hills, and that's promotion. If the elephant walks through the mayor's flower bed, that's publicity. And if you can get the mayor to laugh or comment about it, that's public relations. ~ Michael Levine, Selling Goodness |
| Real love, I've learned, is a very very strong form of forgiveness. I don't think people yearn for love because they hate staying home alone on Saturday night or because they dread going into restaurants alone. People want love because they want their taped-together glasses or five extra kilos to be forgiven. They want someone to look past the surface stuff like bad-hair days, a too-loud laugh or potato chips crunching in their living-room couch when anyone sits down. ~Lois Smith Brady, Love Lesson |
| Weddings have less to do with being married than with the fact that it is best for us to begin one of the most arduous journeys surrounded by friends and wearing nice clothes. ~ Tony Earley, Somehow Form a Family |
