Famous quotes containing the words era and/or names:

    “How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. Names are everything. I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words.... The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one. It is the only thing he is fit for.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
