Unknown. On Prince Frederick

Famous quotes containing the words unknown, prince and/or frederick:

    Only at his maximum does an individual surpass all his derivative elements, and become purely himself. And most people never get there. In his own pure individuality a man surpasses his father and mother, and is utterly unknown to them.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    We live under a prince who is an enemy to fraud, a prince whose eyes penetrate into the heart, and whom all the art of impostors can’t deceive.
    Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    But since ‘tis only Fred,
    Who was alive and is dead,
    There’s no more to be said.
