Fame

He that pursues fame with just claims, trusts his happiness to the winds; but he that endeavors after it by false merit, has to fear, not only the violence of the storm, but the leaks of his vessel.
- Johnson, Samuel

Throughout my life, I have seen narrow-shouldered men, without a single exception, committing innumerable stupid acts, brutalizing their fellows and perverting souls by all means. They call the motive for their actions fame.
Lautreamont, Isidore Ducasse, Comte De

Cervantes, Miguel De

30.
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon

31.
Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.
Auden, W. H.

32.
It's going to come true like you knew it, but it's not going to feel like you think.

33.
A celebrity is a person who works hard all of their life to become well known, and then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.
Allen, Fred A.
