Famous quotes containing the words common and/or law:
“There is all the poetry in the world in a name. It is a poem which the mass of men hear and read. What is poetry in the common sense, but a hearing of such jingling names? I want nothing better than a good word. The name of a thing may easily be more than the thing itself to me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“The times have changed. Why do you make a fuss
For privilege when theres no law of form?”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
