Famous quotes containing the words birth and/or names:
“For birth was a disease and Christopher and I invented the cure.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“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)
