Steve Irwin

A life without adventure is likely to be unsatisfying, but a life in which adventure is allowed to take whatever form it will is sure to be short.
Bertrand Russell

Much of the messy advertising you see on television today is the product of committees. Committees can criticize advertisements, but they should never be allowed to create them.
David Ogilvy

I think a child should be allowed to take his father's or mother's name at will on coming of age. Paternity is a legal fiction.
