Quote

Fame is ultimately about the cycles of desire and how to do away with them or manage them well.

I want fame more than I can tell. But more than I want fame I want happiness.

Fame is a mind - a way of thinking about things. It's all in your mind.

I learned a long time ago that fame and money is not a ticket to happiness.

The fame that goes with wealth and beauty is fleeting and fragile; intellectual superiority is a possession glorious and eternal.

Fame is the echo of actions, resounding them to the world, save that the echo repeats only the last art, but fame relates all, and often more than all.

Fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swollen, and drowns things weighty and solid.

Fame is something that is bestowed upon you because of success. Success is something you have to chase.

I often say fame is kind of like a drug or like sugar: when it's controlling you it doesn't feel good at all.

Fame is like a big piece of meringue - it's beautiful, and you keep eating it, but it doesn't really fill you up.
