  1. The new media will take us from an era when business was our culture to an era where culture will be our business.
  2. Anything I talk about is almost certainly something I'm resolutely against. And it seems to me the best way to oppose it is to understand it
  3. Enjoyed a nice long break but am thinking it's time to get things going again. Let's get started, shall we?
  4. More and more we see ourselves being translated into the form of information, moving toward the technological extension of consciousness.
  5. Today it is not the classroom nor the classics which are the repositories of models of eloquence, but the ad agencies.
  6. The modern Little Red Riding Hood, reared on singing commercials, has no objection to being eaten by the wolf.
  7. Behind every joke is a grievance. And without the grievance there'd be no joke.
  8. Ads are news. More pain and thought, more wit and art, go into the making of an ad than into any prose feature of press or magazine.
  9. Everybody at the speed of light tends to become a nobody.
  10. @lonelysandwich If you would like me to direct mail you I'll need your postal address.
  11. Had an excellent dinner and late night conversation with @David_Ogilvy last night. Truly a first class host.
  12. Today the monarchy of print has ended and an oligarchy of new media has usurped most of the power of that 500 year old monarchy.
  13. @David_Ogilvy I also have some thoughts on this new technology the department of defense is building called ARPANET. Limitless possibilities
  14. @pennjillette I couldn't agree with you more.
  15. @David_Ogilvy Sounds great. It's been a while since we've been able to get together. I have a few ideas I think you'd enjoy.
  16. Violence, whether spiritual or physical, is a quest for identity and the meaningful. The less identity, the more violence.
  17. Today, the wired planet and the information environment involves everybody in everybody to the point of individual extinction.
  18. Canadians are all a very humble bunch. They take it for granted that everything they do must be second-rate.
  19. There are many reasons why most people prefer to live in the age just behind them. It's safer. Life on the frontier of change is terrifying
  20. The best way to oppose something is to fully understand it.
