I became an art major took every art class my school had to offer. In college I majored in Advertising Art and Design.

I am one who believes that one of the greatest dangers of advertising is not that of misleading people but that of boring them to death.

I've always been scared of advertising folk. I've met them at parties and I've been to their offices and I've always found them intimidatingly cool. At one company I visited they held their meetings in a caravan that had somehow been installed in the place a rather more exotic place to gather than the typical BBC glass box.

I am always looking for a cool tee shirt maybe one with a rock band or an old advertisement.

You don't have any communication between the Israelis and the Iranians. You have all sorts of local triggers for conflict. Having countries act on a hair trigger - where they can't afford to be second to strike - the potential for a miscalculation or a nuclear war through inadvertence is simply too high.

I would never kill a living thing although I probably have inadvertently while driving automobiles.

Americans are the only people in the world known to me whose status anxiety prompts them to advertise their college and university affiliations in the rear window of their automobiles.

The Internet creates as well as destroys. Social networks search advertising and cloud computing are multibillion dollar industries that didn't exist 10 years ago. They are products of the same force that has rendered the Postal Service's core business obsolete.

Christ would be a national advertiser today I am sure as He was a great advertiser in His own day. He thought of His life as business.

The business of the advertiser is to see that we go about our business with some magic spell or tune or slogan throbbing quietly in the background of our minds.

In day-to-day commerce television is not so much interested in the business of communications as in the business of delivering audiences to advertisers. People are the merchandise not the shows. The shows are merely the bait.

Advertising is a business of words but advertising agencies are infested with men and women who cannot write. They cannot write advertisements and they cannot write plans. They are helpless as deaf mutes on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera.

Advertising is a racket like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.

An advertising agency is 85 percent confusion and 15 percent commission.

It takes more than capital to swing business. You've got to have the A. I. D. degree to get by - Advertising Initiative and Dynamics.

As a mom I know it is my responsibility and no one else's to raise my kids. But we have to ask ourselves what does it mean when so many parents are finding their best efforts undermined by an avalanche of advertisements aimed at our kids.

Great designers seldom make great advertising men because they get overcome by the beauty of the picture - and forget that merchandise must be sold.

We must advertise to U.S. business that we are there that our attitude has changed and that we care. When we are asked to help we have to perform and provide the right advice.

An aristocratic culture does not advertise its emotions. In its forms of expression it is sober and reserved. Its general attitude is stoic.

I do not regard advertising as entertainment or an art form but as a medium of information.

Appropriation is the idea that ate the art world. Go to any Chelsea gallery or international biennial and you'll find it. It's there in paintings of photographs photographs of advertising sculpture with ready-made objects videos using already-existing film.

Advertising is fundamentally persuasion and persuasion happens to be not a science but an art.

Creative without strategy is called 'art.' Creative with strategy is called 'advertising.'

Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don't have for something they don't need.
