Perhaps the desire of the thing called fame torments you. See how soon everything is forgotten, and look at the chaos of infinite time on each side of the present, and the emptiness of applause, and the changeableness and lack of judgment in those who pretend to give praise, and the narrow span of time it is given, and be quiet at last.

Marcus Aurelius (Meditations – Book IV, 167 A.C.E.)

About the dependence on feedback and praise for your art/writing.
