Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Cioran, E. M.

2.
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

3.
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander The Great

4.
Fame is but the breath of people, and that often unwholesome.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

5.
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

6.
What a heavy burden is a name that has become famous too soon.
Voltaire

7.
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

8.
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

9.
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Huxley, Aldous

10.
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

11.
The present condition of fame is merely fashion.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

12.
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

13.
Popularity? It is glory's small change.
Victor Hugo

14.
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.

15.
It is a short walk from the hallelujah to the hoot.
Nabokov, Vladimir

16.
Fame is the thirst of youth.
Byron, Lord

17.
The longer a man's fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

18.
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Lessing, Doris

19.
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
Johnson, Don

20.
Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.
Pitt, Brad

21.
To many fame comes too late.
Camoens, Luis De

22.
A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it.
Davis, Miles

23.
Fame is something that must be won. Honor is something that must not be lost.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

24.
The day will come when everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.
Warhol, Andy

25.
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

26.
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

27.
We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.
Davis, Bette

28.
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

29.
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

30.
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

31.
Few people rise to our esteem upon closer scrutiny.
Proverb, French

32.
In the world of the celebrity, the hierarchy of publicity has replaced the hierarchy of descent and even of great wealth.
Mills, C. Wright

33.
We always hear about the haves and the have-nots. Why don't we hear about the doers and the do-nots.
Sewell, Thomas

34.
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

35.
I must say, I don't feel very qualified to be a pop star. I feel very awkward at times in the role.
Bono, Edward De

36.
I want to be famous everywhere.
Pavarotti, Luciano

37.
You can't choose what you're famous for in life.
Dave Kellett

38.
What's fame? a fancy'd life in other's breath. A thing beyond us, even before our death.
Pope, Alexander

39.
Fame is only good for one thing-they will cash your check in a small town.
Capote, Truman

40.
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

41.
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Dickinson, Emily

42.
Men's fame is like their hair, which grows after they are dead, and with just as little use to them.
Villiers, George

43.
If you're a misfit within a group of misfits, does that mean you're actually popular and normal?
Laura Preble

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

46.
It's going to come true like you knew it, but it's not going to feel like you think.
Rosie O'Donnell

47.
I won't be happy till I'm as famous as God.
Madonna

48.
Time hath a wallet at his back, wherein he puts. Alms for oblivion, a great-sized monster of ingratitudes.
Shakespeare, William

49.
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

50.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil
