    “Celebrity distorts democracy by giving the rich, beautiful, and famous more authority than they deserve.”
    —Maureen Dowd, U.S. journalist. The New York Times, “Giant Puppet Show,” (September 10, 1995)

    “I felt that he, a prisoner in the midst of his enemies and under the sentence of death, if consulted as to his next step or resource, could answer more wisely than all his countrymen beside. He best understood his position; he contemplated it most calmly. Comparatively, all other men, North and South, were beside themselves.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
