Famous quotes containing the words rise and/or prominence:
“Oppression that is clearly inexorable and invincible does not give rise to revolt but to submission.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“The force of truth that a statement imparts, then, its prominence among the hordes of recorded observations that I may optionally apply to my own life, depends, in addition to the sense that it is argumentatively defensible, on the sense that someone like me, and someone I like, whose voice is audible and who is at least notionally in the same room with me, does or can possibly hold it to be compellingly true.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
