(139 votes)   I have discovered the most exciting, the most arduous literary form of all, the most difficult to master, the most pregnant in curious possibilities. I mean the advertisement. It is far easier to write ten passably effective Sonnets, good enough to take in the not too inquiring critic, than one effective advertisement that will take in a few thousand of the uncritical buying public.

(126 votes)   The trade of advertising is now so near perfection that it is not easy to propose any improvement.

(101 votes)   If you don't believe in your product, of if you're not consistent and regular in the way you promote it, the odds of succeeding go way down.

(98 votes)   Advertisers are the interpreters of our dreams -- Joseph interpreting for Pharaoh. Like the movies, they infect the routine futility of our days with purposeful adventure.
