“John Gilpin was a citizen
Of credit and renown,
A train-band captain eke was he
Of famous London town.”

“Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. What previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

“Let the famous not denounce fame. Far from being empty and meaningless, it fills those it touches with divine power.”
