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)
“Most idealistic people are skint. I have discovered that people with money have no imagination, and people with imagination have no money.”
—Captain Rainbow [George Weiss] (b. 1940)
