Advertising is - quite often - alive to our real needs. It's just the products on offer might not be the things that will help us satisfy them.

Advertising is the edge of what people know how to do and of human experience and it explains the latest ways progress has changed us to ourselves.

Advertising is the ability to sense, interpret... to put the very heart throbs of a business into type, paper and ink.

I think the ongoing discussion of the world of advertising is, 'Where is the soul in advertising?'

Advertising is what you do when you can't go see somebody. That's all it is.

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.

The future of advertising is the Internet.

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.

The interesting thing about advertising is that the things that annoy us sometimes about it are really human. It's us looking at ourselves - and like all human endeavors it's imperfect.
