Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others.

C'est dangereux le succès. On commence à se copier soi-même et se copier soi-même est plus dangereux que de copier les autres.

Another quote from the 1950s

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore -
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over -
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

Another quote about Success

I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
