Example:
Imagine trying to find your friend at a crowded concert when they're standing right under a bright spotlight. Just like that spotlight makes your friend easy to spot in a sea of people, a quasar is the incredibly luminous center of a distant galaxy, making it stand out in the vastness of space. The spotlight is to your friend what the quasar is to the galaxy: both make their respective subjects visible and prominent against a crowded and chaotic background.
