    Just kids! That’s about the craziest argument I’ve ever heard. Every criminal in the world was a kid once. What does it prove?

    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)
