On fame...

"The image is one thing and the human being is another. It's very hard to live up to an image."
–Elvis Presley

“ The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.”
--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“ Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.”
--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
