I have always had a fondness for Saturn. However, I also feel some sympathy for Pluto, as I have heard it was stripped of its planet status, which seems unfair to me. Once something has been granted planet status, it is cowardly to take it back.
Jared Leto
Avoid attributing yourself the status of a victim in any way... No matter how dreadful your situation may be, try not to blame external forces: history, the state, your boss, race, parents, the phase of the moon, childhood, untimely potty training, etc. The menu is extensive and boring, and the very breadth and dullness of it are offensive enough to restore reason against using it. The moment you assign blame to something, you undermine your own determination to change anything...
Joseph Brodsky
Even in small towns, children quickly learn what social status is.
Fredrik Backman
In work, it is essential to maintain patience and show equal respect to everyone you encounter, regardless of where they stand on the social ladder.
Gianni Versace
A hamburger can sometimes stimulate the appetite, leading one to visit one of those similar fast-food places where a person loses their individuality and goes unnoticed. Here, you are nobody, just another person eating hamburgers… But making a habit of eating hamburgers means losing your status. It’s a way to degrade oneself.
Henrika Ringbloom
Both praise from worthy people and condemnation from unworthy ones are equally honorable.
Latin Proverb
Fame and status are not particularly interesting to me. After filming my first movie, I thought only about one thing: oh my god, is this really work? Because this is precisely what I would like to do for my own enjoyment.
Elizabeth Debicki
Humor not only allows one to shame those in high status but also to temper one’s own concerns about status.
Alain de Botton
