Famous quotes containing the word names:

    At present our only true names are nicknames.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A knowledge that people live close by is,
    I think, enough. And even if only first names are ever exchanged
    The people who own them seem rock-true and marvelously self-sufficient.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
