Thank you for making me nouveau riche.

Marketers are making retirement respectable. Instead of being the beginning of the end, it sounds like Nirvana-do what you want without any responsibilities. The boomers think that they're 16. Marketers try to keep the charade going. Retirement will look so good, others are going to be jealous.

I'm hard-nosed about luck. I think it sucks. Yeah, if you spend seven years looking for a job as a copywriter, and then one day somebody gives you a job, you can say, Gee, I was lucky I happened to go up there today. But, dammit, I was going to go up there sooner or later in the next seventy years. If you're persistent in trying and doing and working, you almost make your own fortune.

Because I'm in advertising, not electricity!

There is a great deal of advertising that is much better than the product. When that happens, all that the good advertising will do is put you out of business faster.

Thank you for making me nouveau riche.

I honestly believe that advertising is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
