Famous quotes containing the word meaning:

—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
“A name with meaning could bring up a child,
Taking the child out of the parents’ hands.
Better a meaningless name, I should say,
As leaving more to nature and happy chance.
Name children some names and see what you do.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“A: What is the meaning of life? B: I know, but I won’t tell you.”
