Home Ground

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or ground:

    In ten thousand years the Sierras
    Will be dry and dead, home of the scorpion.
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    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)
