Famous quotes containing the words national and/or system:

    “But for the national welfare, it is urgent to realize that the minorities do think, and think about something other than the race problem.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    “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)
