I like to be surrounded by books. My wife Evelyn has a Ph.D. in comparative literature, so we have a lot of her Spanish and German literature books which are wasted on me, plus a lot of novels and books on art and architecture shared by us both. Evelyn used to edit an art magazine called 'FMR,' so we have a common interest in design.

My twenties were entirely taken up with literature. Entirely.

Thomas McGuane

With some exceptions in science fiction and other genres I have small difficulty in avoiding anything that could be called American literature. I feel it is unnatural, not I think entirely because it uses a language that is not mine, however closely akin to my own.

Kingsley Amis

Computer enhancement has spread to still photography in advertisements, fashion pictorials, and magazine covers, where the human figure and face are subtly elongated or remodeled at will. Caricature is our ruling mode.

Camille Paglia

It strikes me as bad manners for a magazine to accept one of my advertisements and then attack it editorially - like inviting a man to dinner then spitting in his eye.

David Ogilvy

The body of literature, with its limits and edges, exists outside some people and inside others. Only after the writer lets literature shape her can she perhaps shape literature.

Annie Dillard

While readers know that advertisements keep the product cost low, they still buy a newspaper for its editorial content and not for its advertisements.

Sucheta Dalal

Literature and fiction are two entirely different things. Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Let's leverage the power of the Web - don't get rid of it, but make the Web beautiful again. We need to give the content room to breathe and give magazine-style advertisements the opportunity to flourish.

Mike McCue

Love is an ocean of emotions entirely surrounded by expenses.

Arthur Dewar, Lord Dewar

Fishing is a delusion entirely surrounded by liars in old clothes.

Don Marquis

I wanted to work in Hollywood. I was captivated by it. I read 'Premiere Magazine' and 'Movieline Magazine' and 'Us' before it was a weekly magazine.

Julie Plec

Take a newspaper account of Waterloo or Trafalgar, with all the small advertisements: it seems much more real than reading about it in a history book.

Patrick O'Brian

Body am I entirely, and nothing else; and soul is only a word for something about the body.

Friedrich Nietzsche

There is no need for advertisements to look like advertisements. If you make them look like editorial pages, you will attract about 50 per cent more readers.
