These kind of quotes are closer to people’s hearts, tend to reflect their own experiences and generally are a bit catchier and more memorable too. I’m using a great one for a big pitch on Friday (so I won’t be sharing it just yet…) and I found another one tucked away on (don’t laugh) Take That’s album that I’ll definitely try and use sometime soon:
Sometimes we don’t know what we’re looking for,
