Fame

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
Fame Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Fame

1.
I was the only one there I never heard of.
Farber, Barry J.

2.
The day will come when everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.
Warhol, Andy

3.
The love of fame is the last weakness which even the wise resign.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

4.
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

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

7.
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

8.
Once you become famous, there is nothing left to become but infamous.
Johnson, Don

9.
What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

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

11.
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
Vanderbilt, Gloria

12.
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

13.
A sign of celebrity is often that their name is worth more than their services.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

14.
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

15.
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

16.
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

17.
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

18.
Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous but are famous because they are great. We come closer and closer to degrading all fame into notoriety.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

19.
Heartthrobs are a dime a dozen.
Pitt, Brad

20.
How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander The Great

21.
May the countryside and the gliding valley streams content me. Lost to fame, let me love river and woodland.
Maro, Virgil Publius Vergilius

22.
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

23.
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

24.
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

25.
To many fame comes too late.
Camoens, Luis De

26.
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

27.
Men's fame is like their hair, which grows after they are dead, and with just as little use to them.
Villiers, George

28.
Time hath a wallet at his back, wherein he puts. Alms for oblivion, a great-sized monster of ingratitudes.
Shakespeare, William

29.
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

30.
If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

31.
If fame is to come only after death, I am in no hurry for it.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

32.
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

33.
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

34.
'Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a-hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn!
Pound, Ezra

35.
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Dickinson, Emily

36.
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Parkinson, Cecil

37.
Popularity? It is glory's small change.
Victor Hugo

38.
When you can do the common things in life in a uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
Carver, George Washington

39.
In the world of the celebrity, the hierarchy of publicity has replaced the hierarchy of descent and even of great wealth.
Mills, C. Wright

40.
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

41.
If you're a misfit within a group of misfits, does that mean you're actually popular and normal?
Laura Preble

42.
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

43.
All the fame you should look for in life is to have lived it quietly.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

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.

46.
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

47.
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

48.
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Cioran, E. M.

49.
It's going to come true like you knew it, but it's not going to feel like you think.
Rosie O'Donnell

50.
I want to be famous everywhere.
Pavarotti, Luciano
