Personal Life
At the Schenley Distillers mailroom in the 1930s one of Bernbach's assistants was Evelyn Carbone, a college student at Hunter who addressed labels on outgoing mail. While Bernbach worked his way into the advertising department, Evelyn became a receptionist. They fell in love and were married in 1938 by a Justice of the peace. Bernbach's family was against the marriage on religious grounds, but they lived happily and had two sons - John and Paul. After Bill's death, Evelyn and Bob Levenson the DDB creative leader, published "Bill Bernbach's Book: A History of Advertising that Changed the History of Advertising".

“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”

“Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
“If you are to judge a man, you must know his secret thoughts, sorrows, and feelings; to know merely the outward events of a man’s life would only serve to make a chronological table—a fool’s notion of history.”
