Fame is but the breath of people, and that often unwholesome. (Obama Barack)
The majority of pop stars are complete idiots in every respect. (Obama Barack)
The highest form of vanity is love of fame. (Obama Barack)
Of all the possessions of this life fame is the noblest; when the body has sunk into the dust the great name still lives. (Obama Barack)

The love of the famous, like all strong passions, is quite abstract. Its intensity can be measured mathematically, and it is independent of persons. (Obama Barack)

What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little. (Obama Barack)
The love of fame is the last weakness which even the wise resign. (Obama Barack)
