Facts are neutral until human beings add their own meaning to those facts. people make their decisions based on what the facts mean to them, not on the facts themselves. the meaning they add to facts depends on their current story … facts are not terribly useful to influencing others. people don’t need new facts—they need a new story.

Clothing sizes are weird, they go: small, medium, large and then extra large, extra extra large, extra extra extra large. something happened at large, they just gave up. they were like, 'i'm not doing any more adjectives; you just keep putting extras on there.' we could do better than that: small, medium, large, whoa, easy, slow down, stop it, interesting, american.

The interesting thing about advertising is that the things that annoy us sometimes about it are really human. it's us looking at ourselves - and like all human endeavors it's imperfect.

We do not fear being called meticulous, inclining as we do to the view that only the exhaustive can be truly interesting.
