fame


I thought famous people were proud, unapproachable, that they despised the crowd, and by their fame and the glory of their name, as it were, revenged themselves on the vulgar herd for putting rank and wealth above everything. But here they cry and fish, play cards, laugh and get cross like everyone else!

Sophomore Sophisticated




Sophomore - noun; derived from the greek sophos and moron. Sophos meaning wise and moron meaning fool. It's a dichotomy of sorts, lending significance to the idea that the more we search for knowledge, the more we find that we know so little.
