I became an art major, took every art class my school had to offer. In college, I majored in Advertising Art and Design. (Len Wein)
There was a time when I used to get lots of ideas... I thought up the Seven Deadly Sins in one afternoon. The only thing I've come up with recently is advertising. View quote
Peter Cook
Mass consumption, advertising, and mass art are a corporate Frankenstein; while they reinforce the system, they also undermine it. By continually pushing the message that we have the right to gratification now, consumerism at its most expansive encouraged a demand for fulfillment that could not so easily be contained by products...

Ellen Willis
The force of the advertising word and image dwarfs the power of other literature in the 20th century. View quote
Daniel J. Boorstin
Popularity, even at its most mediocre, delights me... I behave nicely with the public, out of the same concern for prudence that makes me generous in cases of epidemics or other collective calamities... Beware, I tell myself, because you may be judged at the end of the time, if there is an end of time and a judge... Beware of the day when no one ask you for anything anymore, be nice with the cratinization of advertising... Any reflection of my existence in others clams my worries about the feeble degree of reality of things, the world and myself. It's from all these eyes, in which I see myself seen, that I take my substance.... but where is substance? If it is not in nature it can't be in God... In a reality that endlessly disperses before the eye, fades away between our fingers, the only really material matter, the only really substantial substance, would be God. View quote
Salvador Dalí
Advertising is the very essence of democracy. View quote
Anton Chekhov
Sanely applied advertising could remake the world. View quote
Stuart Chase
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. View quote
Jerry Della Femina
I honestly believe that advertising is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. View quote
Jerry Della Femina
That's great advertising when you can turn Chicago into a city you'd want to spend more than three hours in. View quote
Jerry Della Femina
One of the big no-nos in cyberspace is that you do not go into a social activity, a chat group or something like that, and start advertising or selling things. This etiquette rule is an attempt to separate one's social life, which should be pure enjoyment and relaxation, from the pressures of work. (Judith Martin)
It used to be that a fellow went on the police force when everything else failed, but today he goes in the advertising game. View quote
Kin Hubbard
..before being hypnotized, she could not distinguish the capitals in the advertising columns of a newspaper. After being hypnotized, however, she could, in a few minutes, see to read the large and second heading of the newspaper, and next day, to make herself a blond cap, threading her needle WITHOUT the aid of glasses. View quote
James Braid
Expensive advertising courts us with hints and images. The ordinary kind merely says, Buy. View quote
Mason Cooley
A viewer who skips the advertising is the moral equivalent of a shoplifter. View quote
Nicholas Johnson
If Muslim people do not change their mind in spite of the changes of social conditions, and if we supplement Islamic courtesy and law without explaining and advertising real Islamic beliefs at the same time, then it is impossible to save the minds of the people. View quote
Ma Fuxiang
History will see advertising as one of the real evil things of our time. It is stimulating people constantly to want things, want this, want that. View quote
Malcolm Muggeridge
Insomnia is an all-night travel agency with posters advertising faraway places. View quote
Charles Simic
It does look as if Massachusetts were in a fair way to embarrass me with kindnesses this year. In the first place, a Massachusetts judge has just decided in open court that a Boston publisher may sell, not only his own property in a free and unfettered way, but also may as freely sell property which does not belong to him but to me; property which he has not bought and which I have not sold. Under this ruling I am now advertising that judge's homestead for sale, and, if I make as good a sum out of it as I expect, I shall go on and sell out the rest of his property. View quote
Mark Twain
I was taken in by what might be called the Hard Times version of the Communists' advertising or recruiting technique. View quote
Elia Kazan
It is true that advertising often gives information and is valuable for doing so, but some forms of advertising give precious little information, and even that little is wrong. (Randal Marlin)
I heard a story that Guinness once decided to stop advertising. Everybody knew what Guinness was. Everyone who liked and regularly drunk Guinness wouldn't find out anything new about Guinness from TV spots and they were guaranteed sales as long as St. Patrick's Day existed. But you know what happened? Their sales plummeted. Very, very quickly. So next time you complain about adverts on TV or in the cinema or even on my online videos, remember that it wouldn't be necessary if you weren't all such flighty cunts. View quote
Ben Croshaw
I am a consumer, part of the system of capitalism. To the corporations that control our lives, I am nothing but a huge mouth wearing designer jeans, just one of billions, to be cajoled or threatened with advertising into giving my money to people who already have too much. Although I vocally consider this a despicable state of affairs, I buy their loveless food and wear their manufactured garments. I am simultaneously antagonist and component. View quote

It may be true that one can reach more microcomputer users with advertising. If this is really so, a business which advertises the service of copying and mailing GNU for a fee ought to be successful enough to pay for its advertising and more. This way, only the users who benefit from the advertising pay for it. On the other hand, if many people get GNU from their friends, and such companies don't succeed, this will show that advertising was not really necessary to spread GNU. Why is it that free market advocates don't want to let the free market decide this? View quote
Richard Stallman
A true aphorism legitimates itself; whoever feels the need to legitimate an aphorism, admits that it is illegal. The surface of an aphorism should conceal profound truth. The claim that everybody can learn everything is superficial, but is as wrong as it can be. As a matter of fact, it is no aphorism but an advertising slogan, and the excuse that it is an aphorism, is a mere wink: in advertising you cannot do without exaggerating. But even as a wink it does not become more true. View quote
Hans Freudenthal
