Famous quotes containing the words named and/or honor:
“We named you Joy.
I, who was never quite sure
about being a girl, needed another
life, another image to remind me.
And this was my worst guilt; you could not cure
nor soothe it. I made you to find me.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“To honor him whom we have made is far from honoring him that hath made us.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
