"Others want to be kept secret in the dark, and are inspired by other things than fame/infamy. "

Do you have some examples.

Some of the most famous introverts and loners of all times have secretly or not so secretly desired notoriety. I always think of Emerson and Thoreau who expounded on the virtues of hermitage through texts meant to inspire a mass audience.
