More From David Ogilvy

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

I remember once prince dropped by to see me when i was in minneapolis and i was sick, with a bag of cough drops and a spoon of cough medicine. i said to him, "hey, can i have another spoon of that? it's just over the counter," and he'd go, "no, i didn't come here to start up new drug addictions for you." and i was like, "c'mon, give me that bottle!" he was very watchful over me.
