Fame is a by-product. It's not a goal. What matters is loving your work and loving what you do.

With fame, you know, you can read about yourself, somebody else's ideas about you, but what's important is how you feel about yourself - for survival and living day to day with what comes up.

Toil and risk are the price of glory, but it is a lovely thing to live with courage and die leaving an everlasting fame.

Let the dead have the immortality of fame, but the living the immortality of love.

Spurious fame spreads from tongue to tongue like the fog of the early dawn before the sun rises.

Fame can be very disruptive. It can be like a drug. It gives you the feeling that you're happy, it gives you the feeling of self-importance, it gives you the feeling of fullfilment; but it can distract you from what is really important.
