Famous quotes containing the words star and/or class:

    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)

    Class is rarely talked about in the United States; nowhere is there a more intense silence about the reality of class differences than in educational settings.
    bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
