"Fame usually comes to those who are..." - Quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr

“Cupid "the little greatest enemy."”

“Do not be bullied out of your common sense by the specialist; two to one, he is a pedant.”

“The books we read should be chosen with great care, that they may be, as an Egyptian king wrote over his library,'The medicines of the soul.”

“You'd be surprised at the things people will do in order to get their names or pictures in the paper.”

“Of course you want to be rich and famous. It's natural. Wealth and fame are what every man desires. The question is: What are you willing to trade for it?”

“By amusing myself with all these games, all this nonsense, all these picture puzzles, I became famous... I am only a public entertainer who has understood his time.”

“A man was desired to rise from bed because the sun was already up. He replied: "If I had as far to go and as much to do as he has, I should be up by now; but having but a little way to go, I shall not get up yet."”

“Whatever my passions demand of me, I become for the time being - musician, poet, director, author, lecturer or anything else.”

“I thought I'm going to die. So why can't I do everything? And what is this idea that I worked all day yesterday, so I'm tired today? I've never believed that.I thought, "Just suppose I could choreograph a ballet." And I did it. Suppose I could teach dance at the theater in Cleveland. And I did it. Suppose I could sing for a living - that I could stop these two jobs as a waitress and a salesperson.”
