    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)

    He first deceas’d; She for a little tri’d
    To live without him: lik’d it not, and di’d.
    —Sir Henry Wotton (1568–1639)
