Fame

If you're a misfit within a group of misfits, does that mean you're actually popular and normal?

Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
If fame is to come only after death, I am in no hurry for it.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

2.
I had it all and blew it.
Mantle, Mickey

3.
In the world of the celebrity, the hierarchy of publicity has replaced the hierarchy of descent and even of great wealth.
Mills, C. Wright

4.
Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.
Pitt, Brad

5.
Wood burns because it has the proper stuff in it; and a man becomes famous because he has the proper stuff in him.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

6.
I'm a bit of an abstract figure that people can project their fantasies on; it's pretty much what we all are, otherwise we wouldn't be stars, and people wouldn't be interested. But people project things on you that have nothing to do with what you really are, or they see a little something and then exaggerate it. And you can't really control that.
Salma Hayek

7.
May the countryside and the gliding valley streams content me. Lost to fame, let me love river and woodland.
Maro, Virgil Publius Vergilius

8.
Few people rise to our esteem upon closer scrutiny.
Proverb, French

9.
Throughout my life, I have seen narrow-shouldered men, without a single exception, committing innumerable stupid acts, brutalizing their fellows and perverting souls by all means. They call the motive for their actions fame.
Lautreamont, Isidore Ducasse, Comte De

10.
What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

11.
Oblivion is the rule and fame the exception, of humanity.
Rivarol, Antoine

12.
To many fame comes too late.
Camoens, Luis De

13.
A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it.
Davis, Miles

14.
'Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a-hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn!
Pound, Ezra

15.
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Cato The Elder

16.
Sometimes I wish I weren't famous.
Wynette, Tammy

17.
Celebrity is the advantage of being known to people who we don't know, and who don't know us.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

18.
Of present fame think little, and of future less; the praises that we receive after we are buried, like the flowers that are strewed over our grave, may be gratifying to the living, but they are nothing to the dead.
Colton, Charles Caleb

19.
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Hellman, Lillian

20.
There has never been a statue erected to the memory of someone who let well enough alone.
Ellinger, Jules

21.
My great comfort is, that the temporary celebrity I have wrung from the world has been in the very teeth of all opinions and prejudices. I have flattered no ruling powers; I have never concealed a single thought that tempted me.
Byron, Lord

22.
A celebrity is a person who works hard all of their life to become well known, and then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.
Allen, Fred A.

23.
Popularity? It is glory's small change.
Victor Hugo

24.
If you're holding out for universal popularity, I'm afraid you will be in this cabin for a very long time.
J. K. Rowling

25.
Famous I don't know about. It's hard to be famous and alive. I just want to play music every day and hear someone say,'Thanks, that was great, here's some money, same time tomorrow, okay?'
Terry Pratchett

26.
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Cioran, E. M.

27.
Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.
Morrison, Van

28.
To have had fame, even very minor fame, and to have lost it, got older and maybe put on a little weight is a kind of living death.
David Nicholls

29.
I must say, I don't feel very qualified to be a pop star. I feel very awkward at times in the role.
Bono, Edward De

30.
The longer a man's fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

31.
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

32.
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
Johnson, Don

33.
What's fame? a fancy'd life in other's breath. A thing beyond us, even before our death.
Pope, Alexander

34.
A sign of celebrity is often that their name is worth more than their services.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

35.
Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud.
Auden, W. H.

36.
It's going to come true like you knew it, but it's not going to feel like you think.
Rosie O'Donnell

37.
If you're a misfit within a group of misfits, does that mean you're actually popular and normal?
Laura Preble

38.
I want to be famous everywhere.
Pavarotti, Luciano

39.
Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous but are famous because they are great. We come closer and closer to degrading all fame into notoriety.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

40.
He that pursues fame with just claims, trusts his happiness to the winds; but he that endeavors after it by false merit, has to fear, not only the violence of the storm, but the leaks of his vessel.
Johnson, Samuel

41.
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Dickinson, Emily

42.
What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.
Erasmus, Desiderius

43.
It is dangerous to let the public behind the scenes. They are easily disillusioned and then they are angry with you, for it was the illusion they loved.
Maugham, W. Somerset

44.
The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.
Mills, C. Wright

45.
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Huxley, Aldous

46.
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
Vanderbilt, Gloria

47.
Fame is the echo of actions, resounding them to the world, save that the echo repeats only the last art, but fame relates all, and often more than all.
Fuller, Thomas

48.
Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Cicero, Marcus T.

49.
Fame has also this great drawback, that if we pursue it, we must direct our lives so as to please the fancy of men.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)

50.
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon
