Famous quotes containing the word fame:
“The boys think they can all be athletes, and the girls think they can all be singers. Thats the way to fame and success. ...as a group blacks must give up their illusions.”
—Kristin Hunter (b. 1931)
“But those rare souls whose spirit gets magically into the hearts of men, leave behind them something more real and warmly personal than bodily presence, an ineffable and eternal thing. It is everlasting life touching us as something more than a vague, recondite concept. The sound of a great name dies like an echo; the splendor of fame fades into nothing; but the grace of a fine spirit pervades the places through which it has passed, like the haunting loveliness of mignonette.”
—James Thurber (18941961)
