“Some famous people owe their fame to controversy.”
Nachman of Breslov (1772–1810) Ukrainian rabbi
יש מפורסמים שעיקר הפרסום שלהם נעשה על ידי מחלוקת
Yesh mefursamim sh'ikar hapirsum shelahem n'ase al yedey mahloket.

As quoted in Photo (2005) by Graphis Inc. http://books.google.com/books?id=m9RTAAAAMAAJ&q=%22Le+Pen+adored <br class="br">Context: I like photographing the people I love, the people I admire, the famous, and especially the infamous. My last infamous subject was the extreme right wing French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen. Even when I am not in sympathy with the person, I have to be in love with him or her while I'm doing their portrait. Le Pen adored me (at least until his photo ran alongside Hitler's in Le Monde), and we got on extremely well.
