Best Quotes about Fame
Even the best things are not equal to their fame.
Thoreau, Henry David
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Huxley, Aldous
I had it all and blew it.
Mantle, Mickey
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
The present condition of fame is merely fashion.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
Popularity? It is glory's small change.
Victor Hugo
Fame is something that must be won. Honor is something that must not be lost.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
'Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a-hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn!
Pound, Ezra
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
Lessing, Doris
Fame is a constant effort
Renard, Jules
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
The day will come when everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.
Warhol, Andy
We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.
Davis, Bette
Sometimes I wish I weren't famous.
Wynette, Tammy
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
The love of glory gives an immense stimulus.
Ovid
Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.
Cato The Elder
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)
Acquaintance lessens fame.
Claudius
The longer a man's fame is likely to last, the longer it will be in coming.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Fame is only good for one thing-they will cash your check in a small town.
Capote, Truman
It is a mark of many famous people that they cannot part with their brightest hour.
Hellman, Lillian
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
The majority of pop stars are complete idiots in every respect.
Sade, Marquis De
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
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
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
Fame always brings loneliness. Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole.
Baum, Vicki
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
Fame is but the breath of people, and that often unwholesome.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
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
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
When you can do the common things in life in a uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
Carver, George Washington
The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.
Vanderbilt, Gloria
To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Cioran, E. M.
May the countryside and the gliding valley streams content me. Lost to fame, let me love river and woodland.
Maro, Virgil Publius Vergilius
The difference between great celebrities and the unknown is the former failed and yet went at it again; the latter gave up in despair.
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 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
If you are ambitious of climbing up to the difficult, and in a manner inaccessible, summit of the Temple of Fame, your surest way is to leave on one hand the narrow path of Poetry, and follow the narrower track of Knight-Errantry, which in a trice may raise you to an imperial throne.
Cervantes, Miguel De
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
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
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
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
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
Martial, Marcus Valerius
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
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
Men's fame is like their hair, which grows after they are dead, and with just as little use to them.
Villiers, George
It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.
Alda, Alan
