You will never see the four original Pumpkins on stage ever again, unless it's a Hall of Fame thing. But you would never see a tour. There's so much damage, there's no way.
Billy Corgan

To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Emile M. Cioran

If we should be blessed by some great reward, such as fame or fortune, it's the fruit of a seed planted by us in the past.
Bodhidharma

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.
William Hazlitt

Fame and success are very different things.
Enya

Wisdom alone is true ambition's aim, wisdom is the source of virtue and of fame; obtained with labour, for mankind employed, and then, when most you share it, best enjoyed.
Alfred North Whitehead

I think I understand what military fame is; to be killed on the field of battle and have your name misspelled in the newspapers.
William Tecumseh Sherman

The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up.
Jean Cocteau

Of all the possessions of this life fame is the noblest; when the body has sunk into the dust the great name still lives.
Friedrich Schiller

Whether you are an astronomer or a life scientist, geophysicist, or a pilot, you've got to be there because you believe you are good in your field, and you can contribute, not because you are going to get a lot of fame or whatever when you get back.
Alan Shepard

You have to be there not for the fame and glory and recognition and being a page in a history book, but you have to be there because you believe your talent and ability can be applied effectively to operation of the spacecraft.
Alan Shepard

There is not in the world so toilsome a trade as the pursuit of fame; life concludes before you have so much as sketched your work.
Jean de la Bruyere

He's just like my father that way-my father just adored my mother and let her do whatever she wanted. John's like that. He's a very rare man, a very good man, and I've had a good life with him. I'm proud to be walking in the wake of Johnny's fame.
June Carter Cash

I didn't get into making music for the fame aspect. There are people who do desire that.
Sheryl Crow

Regarding the Hall of Fame, when they decided I was going to be one of the possible candidates, when I heard that, I was so thrilled. You're always hoping for something like that.
Gabriela Sabatini

At first it was exhilarating but when I realized it wasn't going away, it became scary and claustrophobic. Fame is a weird thing.
Sharon Stone

Indeed, wretched the man whose fame makes his misfortunes famous.
Lucius Accius

I think if you're fame-hungry, go out to a nightclub and get drunk... why do that? I don't understand how some people would want fame so bad that they'd go out and get negative attention to earn it.
Zac Efron

Fame does lead to money, which I don't have a close relationship with. I'm the kind of guy who never sees the money - it all goes somewhere else. I don't understand it, I don't like to deal with it. I have a fear of not having it, because I grew up without it.
David Duchovny

I think it's easy for people to assume that fame is equal to glory, but it can be a very isolating experience.
Sophia Bush
