“To be an artist is not about fame; it's about art, which is this intangible thing that has got to have lots of integrity, whereas being famous doesn't really take any integrity. But I think you have to admit that you want to be famous, otherwise you can't be an artist. Art and fame together are like a desire to live forever.” ThinkingWantArtTogetherDesireArtistForeverIntegrityFameLive ForeverIntangibleBeing FamousDesire To Live Author:Damien Hirst
“Only that which lasts forever is real. That which is done in the temple lasts forever; therefore, the temple is the real world. Most of what we experience "out there," such as sickness, wealth, poverty, fame, etc., lasts for only a short period of time, so it is not the real world.” WorldRealDoneLastsWealthPovertyForeverPeriodsFameSicknessEtcTemplesReal World Author:John H.

“The Baseball Hall of Fame is something every player dreams about, but being a member of God's Hall of Fame is the greatest achievement of all. God offers each of us the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. When we accept God's gift of salvation, our name is written in the Book of Life, guaranteeing us a place in heaven forever. I made that decision during spring training in 1973, asking Jesus to come into my heart as Lord and Savior.” HeartMadeBookDreamJesusNamesHeavenChristDecisionAcceptingLordForeverPlayerWrittenMy HeartOffersFameMembersAchievementEternalSpringTrainingJesus ChristBaseballAskingSalvationHallsSaviorEternal LifeHall Of FameGreatest AchievementSpring TrainingBook Of LifeBaseball Hall Of Fame Author:Gary Carter
“What then is to be the lot of Rossetti's fame and influence? 'An amateur who failed in two arts', it is true; yet it hardly harms Rossetti or touches his standing. On the contrary, it defines both very brilliantly. The small word 'failed' is a small word and little more to artists who are forever going on until they give up over a game that must be lost. Every artist, when confronted by the immensities of art, which is life, must confess to failure. A failure is a thing very relative.” GivingLittlesArtTwoArtistGamesLostForeverInfluenceFameGiving UpStandingHarmContraryRelativeImmensitySmall Words Author:Ford Madox Ford
“Business and scholarship pass away with the person, but the soul is forever like new. Fame and fortune change with the generations, but the spirit is always the same.

“Fame doesn't matter. Money doesn't matter. Those things are forever fleeting. I just want to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, so that when I'm long gone my great-great-grandchildren can walk up to it and say, "That's my ancestor." That will be my legacy.” WantLongMatterStarsWalksGoneForeverFameHollywoodLegacyAncestorGrandchildrenFleetingGreat Grandchildren Author:Tracy Morgan
“The world is a wonderfully weird place, consensual reality is significantly flawed, no institution can be trusted, certainty is a mirage, security a delusion, and the tyranny of the dull mind forever threatens -- but our lives are not as limited as we think they are, all things are possible, laughter is holier than piety, freedom is sweeter than fame, and in the end it's love and love alone that really matters.” ThinkingWorldMindEndsMatterRealityForeverOur LivesSecurityFameLaughterAll ThingsAnd LoveInstitutionsTyrannyCertaintyDullDelusionTrustedFlawedPietyMiragesAlone In LoveWeird PlacesDull Minds Author:Tom Robbins
