Famous quotes containing the words fictitious, business and/or names:

—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“You shall see men you never heard of before, whose names you don’t know,... and many other wild and noble sights before night, such as they who sit in parlors never dream of.”
