Famous quotes containing the word names:

    “A name? Oh, Jesus Christ. Ah, God, I’ve been called by a million names all my life. I don’t want a name. I’m better off with a grunt or a groan for a name.”
    —Bernardo Bertolucci (b. 1940)

    “A knowledge that people live close by is,
    I think, enough. And even if only first names are ever exchanged
    The people who own them seem rock-true and marvelously self-sufficient.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
