I have been asked what would I ban immediately if I could. Advertising.

I don’t think that my kind of journalism has ever been universally popular. It’s lonely out here.

Lies are sufficient to breed opinion, and opinion brings on substance.

Any time an investment company has to spend heavily on advertising, it’s probably a bad business in which to invest.

There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.

Not everybody is comfortable with the idea that politics is a guilty addiction. But it is.

I have been ever of opinion that revolutions are not to be evaded.

I think Pat Robertson is a terrific fellow.

Of all noises, I think music is the least disagreeable.

When ‚Paul’s Boutique‘ came out, I was one of the fans that didn’t get it.

I don’t envy or much respect people who are completely politicised.

Let advertisers spend the same amount of money improving their product that they do on advertising and they wouldn’t have to advertise it.

In my opinion, there is no aspect of reality beyond the reach of the human mind.

Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

Let’s be honest. Canada wasn’t ever cool.

The future of advertising is the Internet.

America is just downright mean.

Some say our national pastime is baseball. Not me. It’s gossip.

Too often we… enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

My opinion is it’s a bridge too far to go to fully autonomous cars.

I believe in universal health care. And I am not afraid to say so.

I sent out a tweet, ‚Dancing with the Stars‘ should stop the jibber jabber. They shouldn’t make the departure of a dancer so tear jerky because nobody’s going to war.

It is the advertiser who provides the paper for the subscriber. It is not to be disputed, that the publisher of a newspaper in this country, without a very exhaustive advertising support, would receive less reward for his labor than the humblest mechanic.

The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd.

To find out your real opinion of someone, judge the impression you have when you first see a letter from them.

Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.

I have never thought it necessary to patronize the American people.

It’s a nice reader, but there’s nothing on the iPad I look at and say, ‚Oh, I wish Microsoft had done it.‘

One Ad is worth more to a paper than forty Editorials.

I can unload my opinion on anybody at anytime.

As I see it, fast food outfits have targeted small children with their advertising in a very effective way. You know, it’s clowns and kid’s toys and bright colors and things like that.

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.

Opinion is like a pendulum and obeys the same law. If it goes past the centre of gravity on one side, it must go a like distance on the other; and it is only after a certain time that it finds the true point at which it can remain at rest.

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can’t, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.

Politics is a science. You can demonstrate that you are right and that others are wrong.

A frustration I have is that a lot of people increasingly seem to equate an advertising business model with somehow being out of alignment with your customers. I think it’s the most ridiculous concept.

We have no right to express an opinion until we know all of the answers.
