--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

--Erma Bombeck

“ It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.”
--Albert Einstein

“ Fame is the perfume of heroic deeds”
--Socrates

“ What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little.”
--Lord Byron
