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.

Marilyn Monroe

•

Fame is fickle, and I know it. It has its compensations but it also has its drawbacks, and I've experienced them both.

•

Fame doesn't fulfill you. It warms you a bit, but that warmth is temporary.

•

Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident; the only earthly certainty is oblivion.

•

Men of great ambition have sought happiness . . . and have found fame.

•

If one has a good disposition, what other virtue is needed? If a man has fame, what is the value of other ornamentation?

•

Fame is ultimately about the cycles of desire and how to do away with them or manage them well.
