Best Quotes about Fame
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
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Cioran, E. M.
The day will come when everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.
Warhol, Andy
May the countryside and the gliding valley streams content me. Lost to fame, let me love river and woodland.
Maro, Virgil Publius Vergilius
It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.
Alda, Alan
Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Cicero, Marcus T.
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander The Great
Riches: A dream in the night. Fame: A gull floating on water.
Proverb, Chinese
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Cato The Elder
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
The love of fame is almost another name for the love of excellence; or it is the ambition to attain the highest excellence, sanctioned by the highest authority, that of time.
Hazlitt, William
Oblivion is the rule and fame the exception, of humanity.
Rivarol, Antoine
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
I won't be happy till I'm as famous as God.
Madonna
Good fame is like fire; when you have kindled you may easily preserve it; but if you extinguish it, you will not easily kindle it again.
Bacon, Francis
The love of the famous, like all strong passions, is quite abstract. Its intensity can be measured mathematically, and it is independent of persons.
Sontag, Susan
The majority of pop stars are complete idiots in every respect.
Sade, Marquis De
Those who have known the famous are publicly debriefed of their memories, knowing as their own dusk falls that they will only be remembered for remembering someone else.
Bennett, Alan
You can't choose what you're famous for in life.
Dave Kellett
There has never been a statue erected to the memory of someone who let well enough alone.
Ellinger, Jules
We always hear about the haves and the have-nots. Why don't we hear about the doers and the do-nots.
Sewell, Thomas
All the fame you should look for in life is to have lived it quietly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
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.
Fame hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil
Who would wish to be among the commonplace crowd of the little famous -- who are each individually lost in a throng made up of themselves?
Keats, John
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)
To many fame comes too late.
Camoens, Luis De
Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime. And, departing, leave behind us footprints on the sands of time.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
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
There have been as great souls unknown to fame as any of the most famous.
Franklin, Benjamin
If you're a misfit within a group of misfits, does that mean you're actually popular and normal?
Laura Preble
Men's fame is like their hair, which grows after they are dead, and with just as little use to them.
Villiers, George
What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.
Erasmus, Desiderius
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Hellman, Lillian
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Lessing, Doris
Happy is the man who hath never known what it is to taste of fame --to have it is a purgatory, to want it is a Hell!
Bulwer-Lytton, Edward G.
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Dickinson, Emily
If fame is to come only after death, I am in no hurry for it.
Martial, Marcus Valerius
Fame is but the breath of people, and that often unwholesome.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it!
Crockett, Davy
Fame always brings loneliness. Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole.
Baum, Vicki
The longer a man's fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Fame is an illusive thing -- here today, gone tomorrow. The fickle, shallow mob raises its heroes to the pinnacle of approval today and hurls them into oblivion tomorrow at the slightest whim; cheers today, hisses tomorrow; utter forgetfulness in a few months.
Miller, Henry
I was the only one there I never heard of.
Farber, Barry J.
What desire for fame attends both great and small; better be damned than mentioned not at all!
Wolcot, John
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
Johnson, Don
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil
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
A star on a movie set is like a time bomb. That bomb has got to be defused so people can approach it without fear.
Nicholson, Jack
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
Vanderbilt, Gloria
