Quote by Doris Lessing

Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.

Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.

Summary

This quote implies that fame is not always earned or deserved by those who have it. Some people gain fame through luck, circumstance, or manipulative means, without necessarily possessing the talent or qualities that truly warrant it. On the other hand, there are individuals who genuinely deserve recognition and admiration but may remain obscure or overlooked. The quote serves as a reminder that fame is not a true measure of worthiness, and it is often more meaningful to assess and appreciate the true merits and contributions of individuals, regardless of their level of fame.
