Abstract

Reputation, reputation, reputation!

O! I have lost my reputation,

I have lost the immortal part of myself,

And what remains is bestial.

(Shakespeare, Othello)

A name made great is a name destroyed.

(Hillel the Sage)

D’abord les ouvrages donnent de la réputation à l’ouvrier, ensuite l’ouvrier aux ouvrages.

(Montesquieu)
