Popular Culture
In author Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl series, the eponymous character - a boy heir to the throne of an organised crime family, has an affection for gold, reflected by a close-to-heart family maxim: "Aurum est potestas" (Latin for 'Gold is Power'). Artemis' world is also inhabited by fairies (unbeknownst to most humans) who harbor vast reserves of gold, and his plot to steal this kicks off the series.

Famous quotes related to popular culture:
“Popular culture entered my life as Shirley Temple, who was exactly my age and wrote a letter in the newspapers telling how her mother fixed spinach for her, with lots of butter.... I was impressed by Shirley Temple as a little girl my age who had power: she could write a piece for the newspapers and have it printed in her own handwriting.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
