Famous quotes containing the words public and/or access:

    “Money is power, and in that government which pays all the public officers of the states will all political power be substantially concentrated.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.”
    —C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
