Fame

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
Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
The day will come when everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.
Warhol, Andy

2.
May the countryside and the gliding valley streams content me. Lost to fame, let me love river and woodland.
Maro, Virgil Publius Vergilius

3.
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

4.
Fame is a constant effort
Renard, Jules

5.
Fame, we may understand, is no sure test of merit, but only a probability of such; it is an accident, not a property of man.
Carlyle, Thomas

6.
Celebrity is never more admired than by the negligent.
Shakespeare, William

7.
The fame of great men ought to be judged always by the means they used to acquire it.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

8.
Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as it changes direction.
Dante Alighieri

9.
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

10.
It often happens that those of whom we speak least on earth are best known in heaven.
Caussin, Nicolas

11.
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

12.
The present condition of fame is merely fashion.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

13.
The longer a man's fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

14.
Even the best things are not equal to their fame.
Thoreau, Henry David

15.
Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being somebody, to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his over-animation. One can either see or be seen.
Updike, John

16.
Fame is only good for one thing-they will cash your check in a small town.
Capote, Truman

17.
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

18.
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

19.
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

20.
You can't choose what you're famous for in life.
Dave Kellett

21.
Fame is but the breath of people, and that often unwholesome.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

22.
Popular applause veers with the wind.
Bright, John

23.
Because I have conducted my own operas and love sheep-dogs; because I generally dress in tweeds, and sometimes, at winter afternoon concerts, have even conducted in them; because I was a militant suffragette and seized a chance of beating time to The March of the Women from the window of my cell in Holloway Prison with a tooth-brush; because I have written books, spoken speeches, broadcast, and don't always make sure that my hat is on straight; for these and other equally pertinent reasons, in a certain sense I am well known.
Smyth, Dame Ethel

24.
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
Vanderbilt, Gloria

25.
Fame is the thirst of youth.
Byron, Lord

26.
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)

27.
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
Johnson, Don

28.
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Huxley, Aldous

29.
The strongest poison ever known came from Caesar's laurel crown.
Blake, William

30.
Fame is proof that the people are gullible.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

31.
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Hellman, Lillian

32.
Living in L.A., everyone likes to mold you and change you. I don't care about fame, I don't care about being a celebrity. I know that's part of the job, but I don't feed into anyone's idea of who I should be.
Jessica Alba

33.
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

34.
Time hath a wallet at his back, wherein he puts. Alms for oblivion, a great-sized monster of ingratitudes.
Shakespeare, William

35.
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Lessing, Doris

36.
Fame always brings loneliness. Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole.
Baum, Vicki

37.
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

38.
We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.
Davis, Bette

39.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil

40.
There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!
Hazlitt, William

41.
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.

42.
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.

43.
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Cato The Elder

44.
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

45.
Riches: A dream in the night. Fame: A gull floating on water.
Proverb, Chinese

46.
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

47.
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

48.
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander The Great

49.
If you are ambitious of climbing up to the difficult, and in a manner inaccessible, summit of the Temple of Fame, your surest way is to leave on one hand the narrow path of Poetry, and follow the narrower track of Knight-Errantry, which in a trice may raise you to an imperial throne.
Cervantes, Miguel De

50.
To become a celebrity is to become a brand name. There is Ivory Soap, Rice Krispies, and Philip Roth. Ivory is the soap that floats; Rice Krispies the breakfast cereal that goes snap-crackle-pop; Philip Roth the Jew who masturbates with a piece of liver.
Roth, Philip
