Famous quotes containing the word brands:

    “Mistakes, scandals, and failures no longer signal catastrophe. The crucial thing is that they be made credible, and that the public be made aware of the efforts being expended in that direction. The “marketing” immunity of governments is similar to that of the major brands of washing powder.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “On the other side, the conservative party, composed of the most moderate, able, and cultivated part of the population, is timid, and merely defensive of property. It vindicates no right, it aspires to no real good, it brands no crime, it proposes no generous policy, it does not build, nor write, nor cherish the arts, nor foster religion, nor establish schools, nor encourage science, nor emancipate the slave, nor befriend the poor, or the Indian, or the immigrant.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Helios makes all things right:
    night brands and chokes
    as if destruction broke
    over furze and stone and crop.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
