Are you curious about the names of the other ad men who are quoted in the Random Quotes database? 

Famous ad men from the previous generation include David Ogilvy, Bill Bernbach, Morris Hite, and Charles H. Sandage.

And then, of course, there is Leo Burnett, whom the wizard quotes as having said, “I am one who believes that one of the greatest dangers of advertising is not that of misleading people, but that of boring them to death.”

Among his contemporaries, the wizard has quoted Les Binet, Peter Field, Andrew Tindall, and Mark Ritson along with Rory Sutherland and Bob Hoffman, both of whom were quoted on the previous page. All of these men are quoted multiple times, but the bulk of the database are novelists, screenwriters, poets, journalists, and scientists, along with a broad splattering of historical figures and philosophers.

The wizard has also archived a number of things that he, himself, has written so that he can find it again simply by typing is own name into the database. At least that’s what he claims. Me? I think it’s a bit of unconfessed ego. But don’t tell him I said that, okay?
