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)

    Nor youth, nor strength, nor wisdom spring again,
    Nor habitations long their names retain,
    But in oblivion to the final day remain.
    Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)

    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)
