Famous quotes containing the words prominent and/or ears:
“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)
“For the sin he had committed, Kharis was condemned to be buried alive, but first they cut out his tongue, so the ears of the gods would not be assailed by his unholy curses.”
