Fame craves blind opportunity.

Fame is the responsibility, the perennial discipline, the concubine who solicits and imbibes, bit by bit, the love, the relations, the serenity, and the soul, leaving behind the subaqueous plaudits that pinch to the core..

Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident; the only earthly certainty is oblivion
