Quote

I can not think of any circumstances in which advertising would not be an evil.

Advertising must respect the intelligence of its audience and if it does not prompt them to think, it will be instantly dismissed.

If people ever talked the way advertising sounded, they would be put away.

But I think technology advertising will have to stop addressing how products are made and concentrate more on what a product will do for the consumer.

I would rather die than see my face in a car advertisement.

Advertising at its worst will be killed by the Internet. And rightly so.

Advertising is a wonderful lubricant for business, if it's used properly.

Advertising as the printed form of selling would seem... ultimately to be justified in so far as it serves as a means of increasing legitimate human wants, as an agency of fair and economic competition in the distribution of goods, and as a stimulant to social progress.

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.

Advertising degrades the people it appeals to; it deprives them of their will to choose.
