Famous quotes containing the word names:

    Men have sometimes exchanged names with their friends, as if they would signify that in their friend each loved his own soul.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Ideas about life organize perception; names of emotions organize sensations; rules of syntax organize thought. But pain comes on its own.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Shut out that stealing moon,
    She wears too much the guise she wore
    Before our lutes were strewn
    With years-deep dust, and names we read
    On a white stone were hewn.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
