Famous quotes containing the word names:

    ““Well then, it’s Granny speaking: ‘I dunnow!
    Mebbe I’m wrong to take it as I do.
    There ain’t no names quite like the old ones, though,
    Nor never will be to my way of thinking.
    One mustn’t bear too hard on the newcomers,
    But there’s a dite too many of them for comfort....’””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Men have sometimes exchanged names with their friends, as if they would signify that in their friend each loved his own soul.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
