A few quotes on the nature of celebrity.

• Celebrity was a long time in coming; it will go away. Everything goes away. - Carol Burnett
• A sign of a celebrity is that his name is often worth more than his services. - Daniel Joseph Boorstin
• A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized. - Fred Allen
• The hero was distinguished by his achievement; the celebrity by his image or trademark. The hero created himself; the celebrity is created by the media. The hero was a big man; the celebrity is a big name. - Daniel Joseph Boorstin
• Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous but are famous because they are great. We come closer and closer to degrading all fame into notoriety. - Daniel Joseph Boorstin
