“The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition.

—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)

“The great mass of people judge well of things, for they are in natural ignorance, which is man’s true state.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
