The origin of celebrity culture

Viola:

Orsino! I have heard my father name him.
He was a bachelor then.

Captain:

And is so now, or was so very late;
For but a month ago I went from hence,
And then t'was fresh in murmur - as, you know,
What great ones do the less will prattle of -
That he did seek the love of fair Olivia.

I, 2, ll 28-34.

Twelfth Night, Shakespeare
