Famous quotes containing the words prominent and/or people:
“The vain man does not wish so much to be prominent as to feel himself prominent; he therefore disdains none of the expedients for self-deception and self-outwitting. It is not the opinion of others that he sets his heart on, but his opinion of their opinion.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“All day long the machine waits: rooms,

those people who stand at the open windows like objects
waiting to topple.”
