Famous quotes containing the words prominent, people, lax and/or descent:

    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)

    A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
    U.S. Constitution, Second Amendment.

    We want nights
    Of vague adventure, lips lax wet and warm,
    Bees in the stomach, sweat across the brow. Now.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    When power becomes gracious and descends into the visible—such descent I call beauty.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
