This week’s quote of the week comes to us courtesy of Kevin Ryan of Search Engine Watch:

Sorry for the political incorrectness in that title, but the guys over at Copyblogger sure know how to get your attention with powerful copywriting. I practically snorted coffee through my nose when I got to that line in the post titled Does Telling Someone to “Click Here” Actually Matter?.

A while back I read this in a newsletter (don’t recall which one) and I clipped it. I think it’s a quote from the movie Elizabethtown:
As somebody once said…there’s a difference between a failure…and a fiasco. A failure is simply the non-presence of success. Any fool can accomplish failure.
But a fiasco…A fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions. A fiasco is a folktale told to others… that makes other people feel more alive… because it didn’t happen to them.
Apropos nothing…
