Famous quotes containing the words the and/or name:

    For forty days, for forty nights
    Jesus put one foot in front of the other
    and the man he carried,
    if it was a man,
    became heavier and heavier.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    What is it? a learned man
    Could give it a clumsy name.
    Let him name it who can,
    The beauty would be the same.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
