“The People in Power will always be Against the People in Popularity”
P.S. Jagadeesh Kumar

Barbara Cohen
“Why, Tess,' Billy said, with exaggerated surprise, 'aren't you just crazy about being a cheerleader?'
'Oh, I love it,' she responded derisively. 'All this rah-rah stuff is for infants. I'm sick of it.' I could hardly believe my ears. How could anyone get sick of being part of the most prestigious group of females in the school? I mean, in my own thoughts, I could make fun of cheerleading as a mindless activity, but I couldn't sneer at the popularity and adoration the cheerleaders received as their due. I couldn't be that dishonest with myself.”
Barbara Cohen, The Innkeeper's Daughter

Mark T. Sneed
“There is no instant anything. Overnight success is a lie. That lie is just one of many lies that youth want to believe, even though it’s not true. No one walks onto the field and dominates on the first day. That is not possible. Popularity, fame, riches are illusions. Being popular is short-lived. Fame is here today and gone tomorrow. Riches diminish. Being reliable, consistent, trustworthy those are things that people remember.”
