Edward Bulwer-Lytton on fame

Talent does what it can; genius does what it must.

In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves.

If you wish to be loved, show more of your faults than your virtues.

In the future everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.

Andy Warhol1928–1987Catalogue of an exhibition of his art in Stockholm, Sweden (1968)

Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.

Emily Dickinson1830–1886Fame is a fickle food (B)

Love of fame is the last thing even learned men can bear to be parted from.
