Quote

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 a delicate and dangerous creature; I saw people who didn't honor it, who refused to take responsibility for it, get destroyed by it. I also saw that stardom in and of itself was empty.

Fame is an unnatural construct and those who go in search of it are the least likely to find it.

Since fame is an illusion and death is in our future all we have is the next moment before we are swallowed into oblivion.

Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it!

What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little.

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

Fame means so little about somebody when you come right down to it.
