"Success is like death. The more successful you become, the higher the houses in the hills get and the higer the fences get"

- Kevin Spacey

About this Quote

This quote by Kevin Spacey speaks with the idea that success can be isolating. As one becomes more successful, they may find themselves in a greater social class, surrounded by individuals who are likewise effective. This can cause a sensation of disconnection from those who are not as effective, as the metaphorical "houses in the hills" and "fences" become higher and harder to cross. This can be a tough reality to deal with, as success can be a lonely journey. It is very important to bear in mind that success is not a competitors, and that it is possible to stay linked to those who are not as effective. It is possible to remain humble and generous, even when one is successful.
