Fame: putting someone on a pedestal so you can see his clay feet

Leonard Louis Levinson

People put you on a pedestal when you become famous, in their eyes, or if they really respect your work, they might put you on a pedestal, but I didn't get that as a kid.

Herbie Hancock (1940-)

The pedestal is immobilizing and subtly insulting whether or not some women yet realize it. We must move up from the pedestal.

I was writing a chapter of Beautiful Evidence on the subject of the sculptural pedestal, which led to my thinking about what's up on the pedestal-the great leader.

In the wake of 'Sex in the City' and with 'Six Feet Under' closing their doors, there's a sense that it's the end of an era at HBO. The perception is somewhat overstated but as HBO is held up on such a high pedestal, there's no where else for it to go but down.

I've heard that my game suits the clay better than the hard courts, even though I don't have too many great results on the clay, ... I totally play like a clay-courter. I'm a baseliner, I don't come in too much and I hit a heavy ball.

And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

Take motherhood: nobody ever thought of putting it on a moral pedestal until some brash feminists pointed out, about a century ago, that the pay is lousy and the career ladder nonexistent.

Barbara Ehrenreich (1941-)

We talk about the physical properties of the clay as we form our bowls and the chemical changes that occur after heat is added during the firing stages. Students create their bowls by rolling clay out at their desks, then placing the clay over forms and molding them.

He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

I guess because of the way we grew up, we don't put people on a pedestal as high as other people do because we didn't know the pedestal existed.
