Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or subject:
“People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosophera Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. Its the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (18961940)
“Personally, I have nothing against work, particularly when performed, quietly and unobtrusively, by someone else. I just dont happen to think its an appropriate subject for an ethic.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
