Famous quotes containing the words telephone and/or system:
“My sole inspiration is a telephone call from a director.”
—Cole Porter (1893–1964)
“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)
