Men seek fame and high places only to learn that they were happier in obscurity
Vance Havner
Image
Fame had brought me so much unhappiness.
Brigitte Bardot
Image
Bud Johnson, God rest his soul of fame, a tenor saxophonist. Bud was always a big, big, big booster of mine and he always when I first met Bud in Pittsburgh when he came through there, he heard me sing and he wanted me to come to Chicago.
Billy Eckstine
Image
Fame is not the glory! Virtue is the goal, and fame only a messenger, to bring more to the fold.
Vanna Bonta
Image
Reputation being essentially contemporaneous, is always at the mercy of the Envious and the Ignorant. But Fame, whose very birth is posthumous, and which is only known to exist by the echo of its footsteps through congenial minds, can neither be increased nor diminished by any degree of wilfulness.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Image
To some characters, fame is like an intoxicating cup placed to the lips,--they do well to turn away from it who fear it will turn their heads. But to others fame is love disguised, the love that answers to love in its widest, most exalted sense.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Image
Look at Jessica Simpson. She's famous for being dumb. I guess it started with Marylyn Monroe, and she actually wasn't that dumb, but that's how she was perceived - and that's what got popular.
Danica McKellar
Image
The seven wise men of Greece, so famous for their wisdom all the world over, acquired all that fame, each of them, by a single sentence consisting of two or three words.
Robert South
Image
No hero to me is the man who, by easy shedding of his blood, purchases fame: my hero is he who, without death, can win praise.
Martial
Image
When I was young, it wasn't about the money, it wasn't about the fame and fortune, it was about playing football.
Victor Cruz
Image
I have always found that my view of success has been iconoclastic: success to me is not about money or status or fame, its about finding a livelihood that brings me joy and self-sufficiency and a sense of contributing to the world.
Anita Roddick
Image
I've been in the public eye for about 15 or 16 years and I'm very aware that fame is not a given. I have to maintain it. It's not just something that will always be there.
Victoria Beckham
Image
There's nothing that can prepare you for fame and for the music business at any point in history.
Terry Bozzio
Image
You can get rich or famous by doing the same thing.
Ang Lee
Image
You should always have a product that has nothing to do with who you are or what people think about you... so that you never start thinking that your product is you, or your fame or your aura.
Andy Warhol
Image
As a believer just because you gain more fame or authority doesn't mean anything, this means you have more feet to wash
Andy Stanley
Image
The majority work to make a living some work to acquire wealth or fame, while a few work because there is something within them which demands expression...Only a few truly love it.
Edmond Bordeaux Szekely
Image
The cursed hunger for gold. -Auri sacra fames
Virgil
Image
Man toils, and strives, and wastes his little life to claim-- At last the transient glory of a splendid name, And have, perchance, in marble mockery a bust, Poised on a pedestal, above his sleeping dust.
Andrew Jackson Downing
Image
I have very strong feelings about what modern fame means, and the toxicity of it. I read Naomi Klein's No Logo when I was 15. It's one of the things that's shaped my relationship to fame - to endorsements, to selling things. I've taken a certain path in terms of all that stuff.
Andrew Garfield
Image
It is a short walk from the hallelujah to the hoot.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
There's only a couple times when fame is ever helpful. Sometimes you can get into a restaurant where the kitchen is just closing. Sometimes you can avoid a traffic violation. But the only time it really matters is in the emergency room with your kids. That's when you want to be noticed, because it's very easy to get forgotten in an ER.
Bill Murray
Image
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame traditionally has had a management style that is very supportive of American talent, first and foremost, over everything else. And I think that's right and proper.
Ian Anderson
Image
Everything a human being wants can be divided into four components: love, adventure, power and fame.
