Famous quotes containing the words common and/or names:

    “I hope there are some who will brave ridicule for the sake of common justice to half the people in the world.”
    —Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon (1827–1891)

    “I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
