Fame changes a lot of things, but it can't change a lightbulb.

Fame changes a lot of things, but it can't change a lightbul

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that despite achieving fame and fortune, there are certain things in life that remain unchanged by fame. In this case, the example of a lightbulb emphasizes the simplicity and stability of everyday objects that fame has no influence over. It implies that fame may alter a person's life in many ways, but it cannot alter the basic facts of reality or the significance of the ordinary things that shape our lives. Ultimately, it serves as a reminder that fame is not all-encompassing and does not hold power over everything in life.

At best we are creatures of reason, and by using reason we can cure ourselves of emotional excess. Purged of both hope and fear, we find courage in the face of helplessness, insignificance and uncertainty.
