"Fame is a heavy burden...." - Quote by Voltaire

“To announce truths is an infallible receipt for being persecuted.”

“To hold a pen is to be at war.”

“Those who think are excessively few; and those few do not set themselves to disturb the world.”

“Fame hit me like a ton of bricks.”

“This fast life soon shatters, cause after all the lights and screams, nothing but my dreams matter.”

“A famous writer who wants to continue writing has to be constantly defending himself against fame.”

“If this is victory, then our hands are too small to hold it.”

“The love that follows us sometime is our trouble, which still we thank as love.”

“A fortified town is like a man cased in the heavy armor of antiquity, with a horse-load of broadswords and small arms slung to him, endeavoring to go about his business.”
