Famous quotes containing the words prominent and/or figures:
“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)
“She, while her lover pants upon her breast,
Can mark the figures on an Indian chest.”
