Public Issues

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or issues:

    Kirsten: So you’re the new public relations man.
    Joe: Yeah.
    Kirsten: What happened to Eddie?
    Joe: Eddie quit.
    Kirsten: I liked him. Why’d he quit?
    Joe: Well, a little matter of personal integrity. Eddie didn’t feel that getting dates for potentates was part of public relations.
    Kirsten: But isn’t it?
    Joe: Well, there’s a name for it but it’s not “public relations.”
    —J.P. (James Pinckney)

    The “universal moments” of child rearing are in fact nothing less than a confrontation with the most basic problems of living in society: a facing through one’s children of all the conflicts inherent in human relationships, a clarification of issues that were unresolved in one’s own growing up. The experience of child rearing not only can strengthen one as an individual but also presents the opportunity to shape human relationships of the future.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)
