Famous quotes containing the word fame:

    To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
    E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)

    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)

    Those who write for lucre or fame are grosser Iscariots than the cartel robbers, for they steal the genius of the people, which is its will to resist evil.
    Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
