FANTASY & DREAMS
"Publicity is the life of this culture - in so far as without publicity capitalism could not survive - and at the same time publicity is its dream."
John Berger, Ways of Seeing, 1980, London: British Broadcasting Corporation and Penguin Books, p. 154.
"We grew up founding our dreams on the infinite promise of American advertising. I still believe that one can learn to play the piano by mail and that mud will give you a perfect complexion."
Zelda Fitzgerald (1932), U.S. writer, quoted in Robert Andrews, The Columbia Dictionary of Quotations, 1993, New York, NY: Columbia University Press, p. 18.
"Living in an age of advertisement, we are perpetually disillusioned. The perfect life is spread before us every day, but it changes and withers at a touch."
J. B. Priestley, quoted in Edward F. Murphy, The Crown Treasury of Relevant Quotations, 1978, New York: Crown Publishers, p. 14.
