Fame

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
Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
Fame is the inheritance not of the dead, but of the living. It is we who look back with lofty pride to the great names of antiquity.
Hazlitt, William

2.
The difference between great celebrities and the unknown is the former failed and yet went at it again; the latter gave up in despair.

3.
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

4.
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

5.
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.

6.
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

7.
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Huxley, Aldous

8.
Fame will go by and, so long, I've had you, fame. If it goes by, I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experienced, but that's not where I live.
Monroe, Marilyn

9.
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

10.
Few people rise to our esteem upon closer scrutiny.
Proverb, French

11.
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

12.
If I'm such a legend, then why am I so lonely? Let me tell you, legends are all very well if you've got somebody around who loves you.
Garland, Judy

13.
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
Vanderbilt, Gloria

14.
Fame always brings loneliness. Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole.
Baum, Vicki

15.
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

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

17.
I was the only one there I never heard of.
Farber, Barry J.

18.
What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.
Erasmus, Desiderius

19.
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

20.
The love of glory gives an immense stimulus.
Ovid

21.
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

22.
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

23.
The present condition of fame is merely fashion.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

24.
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

25.
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

26.
There is not in the world so toilsome a trade as the pursuit of fame; life concludes before you have so much as sketched your work.
Bruyere, Jean De La

27.
Oblivion is the rule and fame the exception, of humanity.
Rivarol, Antoine

28.
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Lessing, Doris

29.
The fame of great men ought to be judged always by the means they used to acquire it.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

30.
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

31.
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

32.
Each man has his appointed day: short and irreparable in the brief life of all, but to extend our fame by our deeds, this is the work of mankind.
Virgil

33.
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)

34.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil

35.
What desire for fame attends both great and small; better be damned than mentioned not at all!
Wolcot, John

36.
'Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a-hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn!
Pound, Ezra

37.
The day will come when everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.
Warhol, Andy

38.
What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

39.
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

40.
If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

41.
When you can do the common things in life in a uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
Carver, George Washington

He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.
Chuang-tzu

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

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

48.
Fame is only good for one thing-they will cash your check in a small town.
Capote, Truman

49.
In the world of the celebrity, the hierarchy of publicity has replaced the hierarchy of descent and even of great wealth.
Mills, C. Wright

50.
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
