Fame

We always hear about the haves and the have-nots. Why don't we hear about the doers and the do-nots.
- Sewell, Thomas
Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
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

2.
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)

3.
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

4.
Fame always brings loneliness. Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole.
Baum, Vicki

5.
People should realize we're jerks just like them.
Bono, Edward De

6.
'Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a-hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn!
Pound, Ezra

7.
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

8.
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Cato The Elder

9.
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Hellman, Lillian

10.
A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it.
Davis, Miles

11.
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

12.
Fame is only good for one thing-they will cash your check in a small town.
Capote, Truman

13.
In the world of the celebrity, the hierarchy of publicity has replaced the hierarchy of descent and even of great wealth.
Mills, C. Wright

14.
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

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

17.
Renown? I've already got more of it than those I respect, and will never have as much as those for whom I feel contempt..
Rostand, Jean

18.
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander The Great

19.
Popular applause veers with the wind.
Bright, John

20.
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

21.
There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!
Hazlitt, William

22.
It's going to come true like you knew it, but it's not going to feel like you think.
Rosie O'Donnell

23.
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

24.
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
Johnson, Don

25.
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Dickinson, Emily

26.
I was the only one there I never heard of.
Farber, Barry J.

27.
Few people rise to our esteem upon closer scrutiny.
Proverb, French

28.
Fame is proof that the people are gullible.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

29.
The difference between great celebrities and the unknown is the former failed and yet went at it again; the latter gave up in despair.

30.
All the fame you should look for in life is to have lived it quietly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

31.
Men's fame is like their hair, which grows after they are dead, and with just as little use to them.
Villiers, George

32.
Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.
Pitt, Brad

33.
The present condition of fame is merely fashion.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

34.
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Lessing, Doris

35.
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

36.
Popularity? It is glory's small change.
Victor Hugo

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

38.
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon

39.
Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, Till by broad spreading it disperses to naught.
William Shakespeare

40.
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

41.
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

42.
If you're a misfit within a group of misfits, does that mean you're actually popular and normal?
Laura Preble

43.
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

44.
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

45.
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Cioran, E. M.

46.
It often happens that those of whom we speak least on earth are best known in heaven.
Caussin, Nicolas

47.
Even the best things are not equal to their fame.
Thoreau, Henry David

48.
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

49.
We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.
Davis, Bette

50.
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
