Famous quotes containing the words place and/or names:

    “Another appealing aspect to having grandparents is that they do help, to give [your child] a sense of continuity—of his place in the world and in the generations. Not only do grandparents help him intellectually to comprehend that there are parents of parents, but they also aid him in understanding where he fits in the succession of things. Even a very young child can begin to feel a sense of rootedness and history.”
    —Lawrence Balter (20th century)

    “At present our only true names are nicknames.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
