Straight Knock

Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or knock:

    Glance into the world just as though time were gone: and everything crooked will become straight to you.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    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)
