Fame
Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.
Best Quotes about Fame

Morrison, Van
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
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon
The majority of pop stars are complete idiots in every respect.
Sade, Marquis De
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
The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
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.
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Lessing, Doris
In the world of the celebrity, the hierarchy of publicity has replaced the hierarchy of descent and even of great wealth.
Mills, C. Wright
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
I won't be happy till I'm as famous as God.
Madonna
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Hellman, Lillian
Fame is something that must be won. Honor is something that must not be lost.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Dickinson, Emily
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil
What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
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
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
A sign of celebrity is often that their name is worth more than their services.
Boorstin, Daniel J.
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
I was the only one there I never heard of.
Farber, Barry J.
Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, Till by broad spreading it disperses to naught.
William Shakespeare
Celebrity is never more admired than by the negligent.
Shakespeare, William
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
What a heavy burden is a name that has become famous too soon.
Voltaire
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
Throughout my life, I have seen narrow-shouldered men, without a single exception, committing innumerable stupid acts, brutalizing their fellows and perverting souls by all means. They call the motive for their actions fame.
Lautreamont, Isidore Ducasse, Comte De
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
Fame is only good for one thing-they will cash your check in a small town.
Capote, Truman
Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Cicero, Marcus T.
To many fame comes too late.
Camoens, Luis De
Few people rise to our esteem upon closer scrutiny.
Proverb, French
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
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
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
What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.
Erasmus, Desiderius
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander The Great
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
We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.
Davis, Bette
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Cioran, E. M.
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
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
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
He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.
Chuang-tzu
The love of glory gives an immense stimulus.
Ovid
There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!
Hazlitt, William
When you can do the common things in life in a uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
Carver, George Washington
If fame is to come only after death, I am in no hurry for it.
Martial, Marcus Valerius
Fame hides her head among the clouds.
Virgil
