Famous quotes containing the words common, esoteric and/or names:

    “But neither milk-white rose nor red
    May bloom in prison air;
    The shard, the pebble, and the flint,
    Are what they give us there:
    For flowers have been known to heal
    A common man’s despair.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “It is an esoteric doctrine of society that a little wickedness is good to make muscle; as if conscience were not good for hands and legs.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I would to God thou and I knew where a commodity of good names were to be bought.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
