Our battle with our enemy is great...this is a battle between Islam and unbelief on this land. In this battle, the crusaders united with the World Zionism.
Ibrahim Mudeiris
Fame is a vapor; popularity an accident; the only earthly certainty is oblivion.
Mark Twain
Fame is a vapor; popularity an accident; the only earthly certainty is oblivion.
Samuel Langhorne (Mark Twain) Clemens
Fame to be sweet must resound in the ears of those we love, in the atmosphere of the land that will guard our ashes. Fame should hover over our tomb to warm with its heat the chill of death, so that we may not be completely reduced to nothingness, that something of us may survive.
Jose Rizal
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.
