Summary

This quote suggests that fame is not achieved by chance or luck, but rather it is earned and deserved. When an individual truly deserves recognition and success, fame becomes a natural outcome. It implies that fame is not arbitrary, but rather it is a result of destiny - the predetermined path individuals are meant to follow. In other words, if someone truly fulfills their destined purpose and excels, they will be destined to achieve fame.

The Jewish sages also tell us that God dances when His children defeat Him in argument, when they stand on their feet and use their minds. So questions like Anne's are worth asking. To ask them is a very fine kind of human behavior. If we keep demanding that God yield up His answers, perhaps some day we will understand them. And then we will be something more than clever apes, and we shall dance with God.
