Yalom D. Irvin, Schopenhauer A.
"A person's self worth or inner merit is the essential commodity, whereas fame is something secondary, the mere shadow of merit. "It is not fame but whereby we merit it that is of true value...a man's greatest happiness is not that posterity will know something about him but he himself will develop thoughts that deserve consideration and preservation for centuries."

"إن القيمة الذاتية للمرء أو جوهره الداخلي هو السلعة الأساسية، أما الشهرة فهي أمر ثانوي، مجرد ظل للجدارة. "ليست الشهرة هي ما يمتلك قيمة حقيقية، بل ما نستحق به هذه الشهرة... إن أسمى سعادة للإنسان ليست في أن تعرف الأجيال القادمة شيئًا عنه، بل في أن ينمّي هو نفسه أفكارًا تستحق التأمل والحفظ لقرون."
