I won’t be happy till I’m as famous as God.

Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, now that, and changes names as it changes in direction.

When I do a show, the whole show revolves around me, and if I don’t show up, they can just forget it.

Fame will go by and, so long, I’ve had you, fame. If it goes by, I’ve always known it was fickle. So at least it’s something I experienced, but that’s not where I live.

Wood burns because it has the proper stuff in it, and a man becomes famous because he has the proper stuff in him.

He who treats another human being as divine thereby assigns to himself the relative status of a child or an animal.
