Famous quotes containing the words master and/or system:
“Nothing can be done about it: every master has but a single pupil—and he will not stay loyal to him—for he is also destined to become a master.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“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)
