Our fame is suffocating for us.

Posthumous fame, book fame, nerd fame is not like the good kind of fame. It might last for centuries and let antique egg heads torture the young from the grave, but it just doesn't pay the bills.
Laura Penny
I think that there is this idea that what you should go after is fame. That is a hugely mistaken idea because fame means absolutely nothing. This whole culture of wanting to become famous is on a hiding to nothing, a sign of a society that’s lost its way and will only judge people as being valid if they’re famous, which of course is all bullshit. As Tom Stoppard said, the only thing that fame means is that more people know you than you know.”
Jeremy Irons
Fame is not the glory; virtue is the goal, and Fame only a messenger to bring more to the fold.
Vanna Bonta
{Fame has] given me a lot of free love -- and that's the best thing fame can afford you. What has it taken away? My privacy.
Gloria Estefan
And they talked about the mediocrity of provincial life, so suffocating, so fatal to all noble dreams.
