Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
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

2.
In the world of the celebrity, the hierarchy of publicity has replaced the hierarchy of descent and even of great wealth.
Mills, C. Wright

3.
Fame hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil

4.
I won't be happy till I'm as famous as God.
Madonna

5.
It's going to come true like you knew it, but it's not going to feel like you think.
Rosie O'Donnell

6.
If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

7.
People should realize we're jerks just like them.
Bono, Edward De

8.
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

9.
The love of fame is the last weakness which even the wise resign.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

10.
Fame always brings loneliness. Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole.
Baum, Vicki

11.
Celebrity is never more admired than by the negligent.
Shakespeare, William

12.
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

13.
He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.
Chuang-tzu

14.
Riches: A dream in the night. Fame: A gull floating on water.
Proverb, Chinese

15.
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

16.
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

17.
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.

18.
A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it.
Davis, Miles

19.
What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

20.
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

21.
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

22.
Fame is only good for one thing-they will cash your check in a small town.
Capote, Truman

23.
There have been as great souls unknown to fame as any of the most famous.
Franklin, Benjamin

24.
Acquaintance lessens fame.
Claudius

25.
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

26.
Fame is the thirst of youth.
Byron, Lord

27.
It is a short walk from the hallelujah to the hoot.
Nabokov, Vladimir

28.
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon

29.
The majority of pop stars are complete idiots in every respect.
Sade, Marquis De

30.
When you can do the common things in life in a uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
Carver, George Washington

31.
I want to be famous everywhere.
Pavarotti, Luciano

32.
Popular applause veers with the wind.
Bright, John

33.
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
Vanderbilt, Gloria

34.
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Cioran, E. M.

35.
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

36.
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

37.
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

38.
If fame is to come only after death, I am in no hurry for it.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

39.
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

40.
Let us not disdain glory too much; nothing is finer, except virtue. The height of happiness would be to unite both in this life.
Chateaubriand, Vicomte De

41.
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

42.
I think the promise of fame and what it holds to you as a child and dreaming of it is not what it is. What it is, I'm not complaining about, but it's just different than the reality you dreamed.
Rosie O'Donnell

43.
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

44.
Now there is fame! Of all -- hunger, misery, the incomprehension by the public -- fame is by far the worst. It is the castigation of God by the artist. It is sad. It is true.
Picasso, Pablo

45.
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

46.
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

47.
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Hellman, Lillian

48.
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

49.
What desire for fame attends both great and small; better be damned than mentioned not at all!
Wolcot, John

50.
A sign of celebrity is often that their name is worth more than their services.
Boorstin, Daniel J.
