America…is being lost through television. Because in advertising, mendacity and manipulation are raised to the level of internal values for the advertisers. Interruption is seen as a necessary concomitant to marketing. It used to be that a seven- or eight-year old could read consecutively for an hour or two. But they don’t do that much anymore. The habit has been lost. Every seven to ten minutes, a child is interrupted by a commercial on TV> Kids get used to the idea that their... Norman Mailer
Modern cosmetic surgeons have a direct financial interest in a social role for women that requires them to feel ugly.

Templeton was down there now, rummaging around. When he returned to the barn, he carried in his mouth an advertisement he had torn from a crumpled magazine. How's this?" he asked, showing the ad to Charlotte. It says 'Crunchy.' 'Crunchy' would be a good word to write in your web."Just the wrong idea," replied Charlotte. "Couldn't be worse. We don't want Zuckerman to think Wilbur is crunchy. He might start thinking about crisp, crunchy bacon and tasty ham. That would put ideas into his head.... E. B. White
George Orwell quote: "All the papers that matter live off their advertisements, and..."
All the papers that matter live off their advertisements, and the advertisers exercise an indirect censorship over news. George Orwell
People come to Cannes just to advertise their films, not with a particular message. But the advantage is that if you go to the festival, you get so much press coverage in three days that it advertises the film for the rest of the year. Jean-Luc Godard
Studies indicate that these children are more susceptible to advertising and even less likely to understand the purpose of this advertising. Bob Filner
There is a great deal of advertising that is much better than the product. When that happens, all that the good advertising will do is put you out of business faster. Jerry Della Femina
There is no such thing as national advertising. All advertising is local and personal. It's one man or woman reading one newspaper in the kitchen or watching TV in the den. Morris Hite
It takes good clients to make a good advertising agency. Regardless of how much talent an ad agency may have, it is ineffective without good products and services to advertise. Morris Hite
The Internet offers an interesting combination of advertising and community by participating in the community you can become an advertisement for yourself. Walter Jon Williams
There is no need for advertisements to look like advertisements. If you make them look like editorial pages, you will attract about 50 per cent more readers. David Ogilvy
Some manufacturers illustrate their advertisements with abstract paintings. I would only do this if I wished to conceal from the reader what I was advertising. David Ogilvy
Remove advertising, disable a person or firm from proclaiming its wares and their merits, and the whole of society and of the economy is transformed. The enemies of advertising are the enemies of freedom. David Ogilvy
