Basketcase Stace thinks t-shirts of quotes would be cool. She suggests:
Does Mona know?
Do you know Viola?
I would add:
I’m Peggy Olson. I want to smoke some marijuana.
Whitman Sampler Box
It’s mohair.
We promise nothing, this is really just for fun, but what else have you got?

Limit your exposure
If you don’t like what is being said, change the conversation.
"I don't think that means what you think it means…"
(on a camouflage t-shirt)
Fear stimulates my imagination.
Has anyone popped over to CafePress.com and searched for Mad Men?
Someone is already offering the Peggy Olson MJ quote on a tee.
Lots more to see …
http://shop.cafepress.com/mad-men
BTW, here's another Mad Men koan used on the silhouette logo. It reminds me of when Mr. Spock defeated some adversary on classic Star Trek with contradictory logic.
Mad Men … where the truth lies
Why don't you boys pitch your tents somewhere else?
Only boring people are bored.
Quit barging in here and infecting me with your anxiety.
(Yay, one from each of my girls.)
"We leave this lunch alone, it'll take over Europe."
My other favorites have already been posted.
I want what I want when I want it.
There's so many good quotes listed, but I have some additions.
Eliot: "What are you afraid of?"
Sal: "Are you joking?"
"Ain’t you heard? I’m a whore child"
"I remember he saw that I didn’t like giving the coat back. That’s always the hardest part"
"Just think about it. Deeply. Then forget it. And an idea will…jump up in your face."
"From what I understand it provides the pleasure of a man…without the man."
"Those people in Manhattan? They are better than us. Because they want things they haven’t seen."
"Bringing in business is the key to your salary, your status, and your self-worth."
"I think women will hate her. It’s like their better looking sister marries a handsome senator and she’s going to live in the White House. I’m practically jealous."
"The day you sign a client is the day you start losing him."
"If I leave this place one day, it will not be for more advertising."
"I feel like I’m stuck somewhere between Doris Day in Pillow Talk and Midnight Lace, when what I need to be is Kim Novak in just about anything."
"Jesus! I’ve been living the last twenty years like I’m on shore leave. What the hell is that about?"
"Don’t waste your youth on age."
1960, Im so over you!
"The Thing About Young People – They Don't They're Young"
oops
They Don't Know They're Young
I think it was: "Young people don't know anything, especially that they're young."
"They tell you life goes on, but not that it isn't necessarily a good thing. Why is that?" (paraphrasing here). I really love Betty. Sorry all you haters, she's awesome.
What was that one Helen Bishop said about realizing you're in charge?
"I don't know how long 20 minutes is."
"He may act like he wants a secretary, but most of the time they’re looking for something between a mother and a waitress. "
"I know what I know" and, BTW, Darren Pettie ( Lee Garner, Jr ) is in 'Taking Woodstock' playing gay, but sooo not closeted…took me a minute to figure out how I knew him.
"It looks like Iwo Jima out there."
"Give me one for free"
"but the next time someone like me asks you a question like that…you need to think bigger."
"Sit down sissy Mary, you're pale."
#43 Donny Brook – thanks for correcting the quote. I was relying on my foggy memory. btw I too am pro Betts
I especially loved #3Darcie –
“No, it’s just, my people are Nordic.â€
"The doctors said he'll never golf again."
"Can't we just fire all of them?"
"Would you say I know something about you?"
"What do you want me to say?"
and not so much a quote as a line for a shirt,
Let me in. I went to the Pete Campbell Charm School for Frustrated Men.
"No dull moments or dull men tolerated!"
What Pete said to Paul when Paul was trying to save face after ticking off the Madison Square Garden developers:
Do you ever hear yourself speak? (Probably a paraphrase)
(Already suggested) t-shirts I'd wear:
"I don't make plans and I don't make breakfast"; "Manager of the Republic of Dresses"; "You'll be gangbusters!"; "A thing like that"; and "My name is Peggy Olson and I want to smoke some marijuana."
Especially that last one.
I also believe that, just before S3 filming started, I suggested an "I Want the Full Don Draper Treatment" tee. Not sure if we could call that a true MM quotation t-shirt, though.
Others:
"Where's Howdy Dowdy at?"
"This place is a gynocracy."
"Some people just hide in plain sight."
"What if this is my time?"
"Change is neither good or bad, it simply is."
"Limit your exposure."
"Having me in your life is going to change things."
"I was raised on whiskey."
"It’s not adorable to pretend like you’re not adorable."
"Princess Grace just swallowed a basketball." (maternity)
And a special t-shirt … just for hullaballoo!
"Clients don't always know what's best."
#54 68Firebird,
I feel that! I say that Don Draper line so often, someone really should put it on a t-shirt:
"What do you want to hear?"
And this:
"So we're supposed to believe that people are living one way and secretly thinking the exact opposite? That's ridiculous."
For Sal.
Advertising is based on one thing, happiness.
Gosh…so late to the party…I want one of each, please. Why do my fangirl obsessions always end up breaking the bank?
And, Mari, I had completey forgotten about that one! That is a must-have. Basically, anything Joan or Roger says could be on a Tee.
This show is just so quotable. I'd wear almost any of these.
I'd also buy almost any of them, and give them away. Anything, really, to get my little sister out of her "Donna Martin Graduates!" neon tee.
“You’ll be surprised how much this never happened.”
What does Roger say after they rake Pete over the coals about Admiral?
"It's never as good as you think it will be."
Something like that.
“Eat or be eaten. That’s how I was raised.”
"Mark your man."
Or heck, just a Belle Jolie t-shirt, if someone could design one.
Does Mona know?
Some of these are already on cafe press, folks, check it out.
"Go home and be with your family."
"Why?"
"Love is something guys like me invented to sell nylons."
"We get it, you're educated."
"You people…"
Heh.
Psychiatry is just this year’s candy pink stove
Front of tee shirt:
"I have a life. It goes in one direction."
Back of tee shirt:
"Forward."
"Go bang your head against the wall."
Betty Draper
3.06 "Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency"
I’m not sure of the exact quote but what Harry says to Paul after the call from Lee Jr., “I’m not going to do what I usually do, which is mess everything up”-thanks to the basketcase that corrects the line.
“Still working, Campbell? There’s no reason to show off: Cooper’s in Montana, Sterling’s in Jane, and Draper’s on vacation”
Been driving for hours and thought of a few more.
"You don't have to have money to dress better than you do."
"I need tending."
And I can't believe no one has said this one yet: "I am one of those girls."
"What time is it? What time isn't it."
"Life is like a horseshoe. It's open on both ends. Long in the middle and hard all the way through." (not sure on that one…correct me if I'm wrong.)
“It’s lively!” (when the wedding ring was shown)
Who the heck would ever say that?
Paul Kinsey Theatre
Crew
gypsy I love that. Black t-shirt of course. Stagehands.
"I don't want to have a fight right now."
"Then stop talking."
OB/GYN to Betty "You've been blessed with a very resilient figure."
Betty to Helen , Season 1: "I don't know who we're voting for yet."
Jimmy Barrett to Don & Betty: "Are you two sold separately?"
I love all of the Glen and Betty quotes, especially "I don't know long 20 minutes is" and "It's just, my people are Nordic."
I think my favorite line from the show ever is Ken's to Jane: "It's Ken…Cosgrove…Accounts…?" GOLDEN, I TELL YOU.
Rachel's line about the word utopia is another favorite, but I don't know how well it would translate to a t-shirt.
This isn't really a quote, but it's probably the greatest MM meme out there: http://imgfave.lg1x8z.simplecdn.net/image_cache/1…
"Let's Play Places"
"Who Are You?"
"Let's See How The Otamanelli Brothers Have Treated Us"
"Ship Shape and Bristol Fashion"
"Churchill rousing, or Hitler rousing?"
"Have a drink!"
"To a place where we know we are loved."
I bet there were people walking around in the Bible complaining about kids today. -I'd like to hear Roger say this to Conrad Hilton:-)
One day you're there and there's less of you and you wonder where that part went.
During Mediatations, when Roger and Don discuss the looming Cuban Missile, Don says something to the effect that we really aren't told what is going on, and that Roger knows better.
"Enjoy the booze and delicatessen"
"It's toasted"
"You're not Don Draper"
"Can I pet him?"
or
"Go bang your head against the wall"
Why would you deny yourself something you want?
"The medium is the message" although that one doesn't clearly refer to the show… or "Advertising is based on one thing- happiness". Or "It's a Chip'n' Dip. We got two." and so on.
There are just so many great quotes!
