Quote by Lord (George Gordon) Byron

Folly loves the martyrdom of fame.


Folly loves the martyrdom of fame.

Summary

This quote suggests that foolishness or senselessness can often be drawn to the idea of seeking glory and recognition, even if it leads to suffering or sacrifice. It indicates that there is a misguided attraction towards the idea of becoming a martyr or being celebrated for one's actions, despite the foolishness or lack of value in those actions. Folly, therefore, finds appeal in the pursuit of fame, regardless of the consequences or lack of genuine worth in obtaining it.
