Fame

Famous quotes containing the word fame:

    Stupid misery of fame and money. Always we were safe from it, mistaking our obscurity for a curse when it was a treasure. Free to make what we liked, to be ourselves, even do nothing at all. No one watching. We could be real.
    Kate Millett (b. 1934)

    I see my reputation is at stake,
    My fame is shrewdly gored.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Certainly fame is like a river, that beareth up things light and swoln, and drowns things weighty and solid.
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
