Famous quotes containing the words domain and/or names:

    In the domain of art there is no light without heat.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    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.
