Famous quotes containing the words level and/or names:

    One of the peculiar sins of the twentieth century which we’ve developed to a very high level is the sin of credulity. It has been said that when human beings stop believing in God they believe in nothing. The truth is much worse: they believe in anything.
    Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990)

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