Wright Ordered

Famous quotes containing the words wright and/or ordered:

    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)

    I am aware that I have been on many a man’s premises, and might have been legally ordered off, but I am not aware that I have been in many men’s houses.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
