"Fame hit me like a ton of..." - Quote by Eminem

“I was poor white trash, no glitter, no glamour, but I'm not ashamed of anything.”

“‘Cause sometimes you just feel tired, feel weakAnd when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give upBut you gotta search within youAnd gotta find that inner strengthAnd just pull that shit out of youAnd get that motivation to not give upAnd not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face, and collapse.”

“I'm not afraid to take a stand. Everybody come take my hand. We'll walk this road together, through the storm. Whatever weather, cold or warm. Just let you know that, you're not alone. Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road.”

“It took a long time to understand why people were so interested in me, but I assumed it was because my wonderful husband had done a lot of wonderful work leading up to our marriage and our relationship. But then, over the years, you see yourself as a good product that sits on a shelf and sells well. People make a lot of money out of you.”

“When you're famous you kind of run into human nature in a raw kind of way. It stirs up envy, fame does.”

“Man has always desired power. Ownership of property gives this power. Man hankers also after posthumous fame based on power.”

“A little neglect may breed great mischief. ... For want of a nail, the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe, the horse was lost; for want of a horse, the battle was lost; for want of the battle, the war was lost.”

“Is it only the mouth and belly which are injured by hunger and thirst? Men's minds are also injured by them.”

“If a man knows the law, find out, though he live in a pine shanty, and resort to him. And if a man can pipe or sing, so as to wrap the imprisoned soul in an elysium; or can paint a landscape, and convey into souls and ochres all the enchantments of Spring or Autumn; or can liberate and intoxicate all people who hear him with delicious songs and verses; it is certain that the secret cannot be kept; the first witness tells it to a second, and men go by fives and tens and fifties to his doors.”
