"Public lives are lived out on the job……" — Robert Fulghum

Public lives are lived out on the job and in the marketplace,… - Robert Fulghum

"Public lives are lived out on the job and in the marketplace, where certain rules, conventions, laws, and social customs keep most of us in line. Private lives are lived out in the presence of family, friends, and neighbors who must be considered and respected even though the rules and proscriptions are looser than what's allowed in public. But in our secret lives, inside our own heads, almost anything goes."

— Robert Fulghum
