Famous quotes containing the word names:

    “Watt’s need of semantic succour was at times so great that he would set to trying names on things, and on himself, almost as a woman hats.”
    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    “If marriages were made by putting all the men’s names into one sack and the women’s names into another, and having them taken out by a blindfolded child like lottery numbers, there would be just as high a percentage of happy marriages as we have here in England.... If you can tell me of any trustworthy method of selecting a wife, I shall be happy to make use of it.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
