Dab System

Famous quotes containing the words dab and/or system:

    Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses.
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    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)
