About this Quote

This quote by Emily Dickinson recommends that star is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it is a reward for those who have attained great success and have actually earned acknowledgment for their talents and benefits. On the other hand, it can be a punishment for those who have achieved success, as they are now subject to public examination and criticism. Celeb can be a burden, as it can result in a loss of personal privacy and a lack of control over one's own life. It can also result in a sense of privilege and a lack of gratitude for the hard work and commitment that entered into accomplishing success. Eventually, this quote suggests that celeb can be both a true blessing and a curse, which it is important to be mindful of the possible mistakes that feature it.
