Famous quotes containing the words the and/or name:

    “To have gathered from the air a live tradition
    or from a fine old eye the unconquered flame
    This is not vanity.
    Here error is all in the not done,
    all in the diffidence that faltered . . .”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “Name any name and then remember everybody you ever knew who bore than name. Are they all alike. I think so.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
