We suffer primarily not from our vices or our weaknesses, but from our illusions. We are haunted, not by reality, but by those images we have put in their place.
From Daniel J. Boorstin
Time makes heroes but dissolves celebrities.
An image is not simply a trademark, a design, a slogan or an easily remembered picture. It is a studiously crafted personality profile of an individual, institution, corporation, product or service.
Knowledge is not simply another commodity. On the contrary. Knowledge is never used up. It increases by diffusion and grows by dispersion.
Reading is like the sex act - done privately, and often in bed.
I write to discover what I think. After all, the bars aren't open that early.
A sign of celebrity is that his name is often worth more than his services.
We need not be theologians to see that we have shifted responsibility for making the world interesting from God to the newspaperman.
Nothing is really real unless it happens on television.
The celebrity is a person who is known for his well-knownness.
