Famous quotes containing the words celebrity and/or connections:

    “My great comfort is, that the temporary celebrity I have wrung from the world has been in the very teeth of all opinions and prejudices. I have flattered no ruling powers; I have never concealed a single thought that tempted me.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Growing up human is uniquely a matter of social relations rather than biology. What we learn from connections within the family takes the place of instincts that program the behavior of animals; which raises the question, how good are these connections?”
    —Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
