Famous quotes containing the word prominent:

    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)
