A Quote by Marcus Aurelius
Life is a warfare and a stranger's sojourn, and after fame is oblivion.
Related Quotes
All things of the body stream away like a river, all things of the mind are dreams and delusion; life is warfare, and a visit to a strange land; the only lasting fame is oblivion.
Life is a stranger's sojourn, a night at an inn.
As for life, it is a battle and a sojourning in a strange land; but the fame that comes after is oblivion.
How many after being celebrated by fame have been given up to oblivion; and how many who have celebrated the fame of others have long been dead.
Oblivion is the rule and fame the exception, of humanity.
The one stroke marks the difference between fame and oblivion.
Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident; the only earthly certainty is oblivion.

It is a common saying, and in everybody's mouth, that life is but a sojourn.
It takes an incredibly special person to be willing to put his or her life on the line for a complete stranger. And to get up every morning, day after day after day, to do that, I think, is extraordinary.
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist's way of scribbling "Kilroy was here" on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.
