Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or people:
“Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous but are famous because they are great. We come closer and closer to degrading all fame into notoriety.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“All think what other people think;
All know the man their neighbor knows.
Lord, what would they say
Did their Catullus walk that way?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
