Famous quotes containing the words origin and/or meaning:
“Art is good when it springs from necessity. This kind of origin is the guarantee of its value; there is no other.”

“A name with meaning could bring up a child,
Taking the child out of the parents’ hands.

As leaving more to nature and happy chance.
Name children some names and see what you do.”
