Fame Quotes - page 38
Folks, this here young man deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Not only because he pitched two no-hitters, but because he got two bonuses from Branch Rickey.
Branch Rickey
In the construction of Immortal Fame you need first of all a cosmic shamelessness.
Umberto Eco
Those who write for lucre or fame are grosser Iscariots than the cartel robbers, for they steal the genius of the people, which is its will to resist evil.
Edward Dahlberg
Fame is hollow. It amplifies what is there. If there is any self-doubt, or hatred, or lack of ability to connect with people, fame will magnify it.
Alanis Morissette
I think it's child abuse to have someone in the public eye too young. Society basically values wealth and fame and power at the cost of well-being. In the case of a child, it's at the cost of someone's natural development. It's already hard enough to develop.
Alanis Morissette
I want to poke holes in the erroneous beliefs about what fame provides. It won't raise your self-esteem, it won't create profound connection, it's not going to heal your childhood traumas, it's only going to amplify them. You're going to be subject to a lot of criticism and praise, both of which are violent in their own ways.
Alanis Morissette
Fame is not just. She never finely or discriminatingly praises, but coarsely hurrahs.
Henry David Thoreau
Even the best things are not equal to their fame.
Henry David Thoreau
In accumulating property for ourselves or our posterity, in founding a family or a state, or acquiring fame even, we are mortal but in dealing with truth we are immortal, and need fear no change nor accident.
Henry David Thoreau
I just think it's a great world to tell stories in, to tell cool stories: money, sex, fame, and scandal. Those are great subject matters to work with.
James Frey
I'd love to be in the Hall of Fame one day and win Super Bowl rings, or even one... and stay healthy.
Eric Dickerson
No other fame can be compared with that of Jesus. He has a place in the human heart, that no one who ever lived has in any measure rivaled. No name is pronounced with a tone of such love and veneration. All other laurels wither before His. His are ever kept fresh with tears of gratitude.
William Ellery Channing
What is the point of restraint and circumspection, if such stream-of-consciousness vulgarity can win not merely wealth and fame but complete social acceptance?
Anthony Daniels (psychiatrist)
Though, by the logic of this tribe, the best promoters of India's unity were the British. They did far more and succeeded to a much greater extent in imposing a unity on India. By that logic, General Dyer of the Jallianwala Bagh fame comes out with flying colours as the foremost builder of an Indian nation. He was also very ruthless in gunning down unarmed people who were not impressed by the "benefits of the British Raj”.
Sita Ram Goel
Yet have we well begun, Battles so bravely won Have ever to the sun By fame been raisëd.
Michael Drayton
Every man's last day is fixed. Lifetimes are brief and not to be regained, For all mankind. But by their deeds to make Their fame last: that is labor for the brave.
Virgil
Let my delight be the country, and the running streams amid the dells-may I love the waters and the woods, though I be unknown to fame.
Virgil
Presence diminishes fame.
Virgil
When 'Play' first came out, journalists didn't review it; it didn't get radio play. And then it became this big successful record and, I hate to admit this, I found myself liking the fame. I bought into it.
Moby
People assume that somehow fame and wealth will keep mortality at bay.
Moby
I think my level of fame will drop back down. I think it'll recede. In fact, I know it will. That's life on planet earth. And I'm okay with that. Besides getting tables at restaurants and special treatment at the airport, what else is there?
Tina Fey
Every one of us is going to die eventually, but we as a species will stick around for a while. That's why I think accumulating money, fame or power is irrelevant. Serving humanity is the only thing that really matters in the long run.
Pavel Durov
