Famous quotes containing the words star and/or rank:
“The star is the ultimate American verification of Jean Jacques Rousseau’s Emile. His mere existence proves the perfectability of any man or woman. Oh wonderful pliability of human nature, in a society where anyone can become a celebrity! And where any celebrity ... may become a star!”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“... his rank penetrated them as though it had been an odour.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
