Advertisements are of great use to the vulgar. First of all, as they are instruments of ambition. A man that is by no means big enough for the Gazette, may easily creep into the advertisements by which means we often see an apothecary in the same paper of news with a plenipotentiary, or a running footman with an ambassador.
Joseph Addison
Image
Advertisements may be evaluated scientifically they cannot be created scientifically.
Leo Bogart
Image
Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper.
Mark Twain
Image
Advertisements are now so numerous that they are very negligently perused
Samuel Johnson
Image
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.
David Ogilvy
Image
Apple is not sold with advertising despite the long series of clever advertisements produced for the company over the years. It is sold with evangelism, one person talking to another. The advertising reinforces the evangelist message.
Steve Hayden
Image
Next to the writer of real estate advertisements, the autobiographer is the most suspect of prose artists.
Donal Henahan

One thing I'll say about Hitler that many people don't realize - and I don't mean to besmirch the industry - but he did get his start, not only as an artist, but as an advertising man writing art for advertisements.
Tim Wu
Image
In advertisements for your favorite products, are women denigrated or objectified in some way? All of that is important. I would rewrite my kids' books, I would write it in the books for the babysitter!
Geena Davis
Image
The rich philistinism emanating from advertisements is due not to their exaggerating (or inventing) the glory of this or that serviceable article but to suggesting that the acme of human happiness is purchasable and that its purchase somehow ennobles the purchaser.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
The advertisements during intermissions are the truest reflection of an intermission from life.
Guy Debord
Image
I see no reason why the artistic world can't absolutely merge with Madison Avenue. Pop art is a move in that direction. Why can't we have advertisements with beautiful words and beautiful images?
William S. Burroughs
Image
The advertisements in a newspaper are more full knowledge in respect to what is going on in a state or community than the editorial columns are.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Now in the States if you look at the TV, you see the advertisements, the TV programmes, the pop videos, and the movies, they're all the same style. I think it's very condescending to the audience to assume they only have a three second attention span and so they don't leave anything on the screen for any longer. I don't understand that.
Jim Jarmusch
Image
The success of an entire advertising campaign may stand or fall on what is said in the headlines of the individual advertisements.
John Caples
Image
Winds are advertisements of all they touch, however much or little we may be able to read them telling their wanderings even by their scents alone.
John Muir
Image
We live in a society that worships youth. On television, in magazines, in advertisements and on billboards, what sells and what is sold to us is youth.
Andrew Denton
Image
In New York - whose subway trains in particular have been tattooed with an energy to put our own rude practitioners to shame - not an inch of free space is spared except that of advertisements.
Lyman Abbott
Image
The book of your revolution sits in the pit of your belly, young Indian. Crap it out, and read. Instead of which, they're all sitting in front of color TVs and watching cricket and shampoo advertisements.
Aravind Adiga
Image
Much brass has been sounded and many cymbals tinkled in the name of advertising but the advertisements which persuade people to act are written by men who have an abiding respect for the intelligence of their readers, and a deep sincerity regarding the merits of the goods they have to sell.
Bruce Barton
Image
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.
Michelle Obama
Image
What is a magazine? A small body of Literature entirely surrounded by advertisements.
Carolyn Wells
Image
There's a subterranean impetus towards pornography so powerful that half the business world is juiced by the sort of half sex that one finds in advertisements.
Norman Mailer
Image
Visitors who come from the Soviet Union and tell you how marvelous it is to be able to look at public buildings without advertisements stuck all over them are just telling you that they can't decipher the cyrillic alphabet.
