“A celebrity is a person known for his well-knownness. Celebrities intensify their celebrity images simply by being well known for relations among themselves. By a kind of symbiosis celebrities live off each other.”
Daniel J. Boorstin“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.”
Daniel J. Boorstin“The courage to imagine the otherwise is our greatest resource, adding color and suspense to all our life.”
Daniel J. Boorstin“The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes 'sight-seeing.'”
Daniel J. Boorstin“The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge.”
Daniel J. Boorstin“Technology is so much fun but we can drown in our technology. The fog of information can drive out knowledge.”
Daniel J. Boorstin“The force of the advertising word and image dwarfs the power of other literature in the 20th century.”
Daniel J. Boorstin“Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know.”
Daniel J. Boorstin“The celebrity is a person who is known for his well-knownness.”
