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)
