I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity.

It's all fleeting. As fame is fleeting, so are all the trappings of fame fleeting. The money, the clothes, the furniture.

I wanted to be a singer forever. But it's not really my cup of tea. Having the whole world know who you are.

People don't value their obscurity. They don't know what it's like to have it taken away.

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

A celebrated people lose dignity upon a closer view.
