Famous quotes containing the words place and/or names:

    Gold? Yellow, glittering, precious gold?
    ...
    This yellow slave
    Will knit and break religions, bless th’ accursed,
    Make the hoar leprosy adored, place thieves,
    And give them title, knee and approbation
    With senators on the bench.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    All nationalisms are at heart deeply concerned with names: with the most immaterial and original human invention. Those who dismiss names as a detail have never been displaced; but the peoples on the peripheries are always being displaced. That is why they insist upon their continuity—their links with their dead and the unborn.
    John Berger (b. 1926)
