"Applause was designed to bemuse and confuse you until it explodes into a chorus that reminds us why we love pop music."

Previous Quote

I do not know whether anyone has ever succeeded in not enjoying praise. And, if we enjoy it, we naturally wants to receive it. And if we want to receive it, we cannot help but being distraught at losing it. Those who are in love with applause have their spirits starved not only when they are blamed off-hand, but even when they fail to be constantly praised.

— Saint John Chrysostom
