No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements. Much as we may pride ourselves on our good taste, we are no longer free to choose the things we want, for advertising exerts a subtle influence on us. In their efforts to persuade us to buy this or that product, advertisers have made a close study of human nature and have classified all our little weaknesses.

No one can avoid being influenced by time. Much as we may pride ourselves on our strength and beauty, we can never free ourselves from the passing of time, however subtle the influence is on us. In its ticking effort to keep the world going, time waits for no one, leaving us all victims of aging.
