“Beauty is fame.”

“Extraordinary beauty can be a curse to the one who possesses it. one pays a dear price for fame and fortune”

“A wise beautiful lake never desires to be famous, because fame dirty it! To remain pure, distance yourself from the reputation!”

“Of course, they were other things too. Sometimes they were even everything all together, but not fame, which was rooted in delusion and lies, if not ambition. Also, fame was reductive. Everything that ended in fame and everything that issued from fame was inevitably diminished. Fame's message was unadorned. Fame and literature were irreconcilable enemies.”

“To be envied, admired, is not a feeling. Nor is fame it feeling. There are feelings associated with fame, but few of them are any more enjoyable than the feelings associated with envy of fame.”

“Fame is not the glory! Virtue is the goal, and fame only a messenger, to bring more to the fold.”
