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

Erma  Bombeck

Is demum miser est, cuius nobilitas miserias nobilitat. Indeed, wretched the man whose fame makes his misfortunes famous.

Lucius  Accius (or Attius)

If a man knows the law, find out, though he live in a pine shanty, and resort to him. And if a man can pipe or sing, so as to wrap the imprisoned soul in an elysium; or can paint a landscape, and convey into souls and ochres all the enchantments of Spring or Autumn; or can liberate and intoxicate all people who hear him with delicious songs and verses; it is certain that the secret cannot be kept; the first witness tells it to a second, and men go by fives and tens and fifties to his doors.

Ralph Waldo  Emerson

In the construction of Immortal Fame you need first of all a cosmic shamelessness.

Umberto  Eco

Fame then was cheap, and the first comer sped; And they have kept it since by being dead.

John  Dryden

Fame is a fickle food Upon a shifting plate.

Emily  Dickinson

Fame is a bee It has a song — It has a sting — Ah, too, it has a wing.

Emily  Dickinson

Men the most infamous are fond of fame, And those who fear not guilt yet start at shame.

Charles  Churchill
