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. David Ogilvy
We need not seek our own best selves, and in the meantime we inoculate ourselves against the viruses of age and idealism, which, as the advertising agencies well know, depress sales and sour the feasts of consumption. Lewis H. Lapham
There are very few men of genius in advertising agencies. But we need all we can find. Almost without exception they are disagreeable. Don't destroy them. They lay golden eggs. David Ogilvy
No one's family is normal. Normalcy is a lie invented by advertising agencies to make the rest of us feel inferior. Claire LaZebnik
I went out to some advertising agencies and asked if I could do anything. Renny Harlin

Everything has changed, but the systems haven't. Cindy Gallop
