Ground Blades

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or blades:

“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)

“The virtue of making two blades of grass grow where only one grew before does not begin to be superhuman.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
