Craig Killman,
Vice President of Super Crown Books.
Books have no redeeming value.

Richard Nixon
If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and white notes together.

Aaron Sachs
The United States spends $50 billion annually on the development of defense and space technologies, but less than $2 billion on furthering our understanding of the environment. There is a perfectly straightforwared reason why we have more sophisticated techniques for planting land mines in the desert than for planting corn on an erodable hillside.

Clarence Darrow
The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

FAIR
...AZT normally sells in the U.S. for more than ten times the cost of production...the drug was invented and identified as a useful treatment for AIDS by the U.S. government, not by Glaxo Wellcome.

Sandra Bernhard
On one side you have book burners, congressional wives and Pat Robertson. On the other side, you have vulgar comedians, foul-mouthed rap groups and Dennis Hopper--all your choices should be so easy.

Garrett Hardin
Society does not need more children; but it does need more loved children. Quite literally, we cannot afford unloved children-but we pay heavily for them every day. There should not be the slightest communal concern when a woman elects to destroy the life of her thousandth-of-an-ounce embryo. But all society should rise up in alarm when it hears that a baby that is not wanted is about to be born.

Keith Davey
Privately owned radio has often been successful in its own terms: profitability, stability, unflagging mediocrity.

Martin Gardner
Today's pop counterculture, especially among the young, is an awesome mix of maximum mindlessness, minimum historical awareness, and a pathetic yearning for (to quote chico marx) strawberry shortcut. To hell with established religions, with science, with philosophy, with economics and politics, with the liberal arts-with anything that demands time and effort.

Paul Baran And Paul Sweezy
The real danger from advertising is that it helps to shatter and ultimately destroy our most precious non-material possessions: the confidence in the existence of meaningful purposes of human activity and respect for the integrity of man.

Herbert George Wells
Advertising is legalized lying.

Arne Adolfsen
Oh yes, the sentimentality for "unborn babies," but apparent lack of concern for "born babies." What are you once you *are* born? Pre-dead?

George Orwell
Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket.

Paul Baran And Paul Sweezy
The greatest damage done by advertising is precisely that it incessantly demonstrates the prostitution of men and women who lend their intellects, their voices, their artistic skills to purposes in which they themselves do not believe and that it teaches the essential meaninglessness of all creations of the mind; words, images and ideas.

Vilhjalmur Stefansson
What is the difference between unethical and ethical advertising? Unethical advertising uses falsehoods to deceive the public; ethical advertising uses truth to deceive the public.

Richard Schickel
[Disney's machine] has placed a mickey mouse hat on every little developing personality in america. As capitalism, it is a work of genius; as culture, it is mostly a horror.

Christopher Pettus
Heroin wasn't around then. It was introduced as a ``safe'' alternative to morphine, just as methadone was then introduced as a ``safe'' alternative to heroin. As usual, the drug problem had to be continuously invented, or there would not be one.

Hunter S. Thompson
That is the problem with this rich and anguished generation. Somewhere a long time ago they fell in love with the idea that politicians-even the slickest and brightest presidential candidates-were real heroes and truly exciting people. That is wrong on its face. They are mainly dull people with corrupt instincts and criminal children.

Vilhjalmur Stefansson
What is the difference between unethical and ethical advertising? Unethical advertising uses falsehoods to deceive the public; ethical advertising uses truth to deceive the public.

Ron Barber
[On Jerry Falwell And Pat Robertson:Television Evangelists] I see these two legendary men as symbolic of the american dream. Their position atop a vast religious/cable television/bad hair empire shows the entire world that america truly is the land of opportunity(tm), where narrow-minded, really dumb guys can, and regularly do, get to the top.

Charles Osgood
Being politically correct means always having to say you're sorry.

Bill Moyers
...the delusional is no longer marginal. It has come in from the fringe, to sit in the seat of power in the Oval Office and in Congress.
