Famous quotes containing the word names:

    “Shut out that stealing moon,
    She wears too much the guise she wore
    Before our lutes were strewn
    With years-deep dust, and names we read
    On a white stone were hewn.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “Almanacked, their names live; they
    Have slipped their names, and stand at ease,
    Or gallop for what must be joy,”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1985)

    “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.”
