Famous quotes containing the words ten, common and/or names:

    Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they? Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 17:17,18.

    Jesus, after healing ten lepers.

    The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one’s soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility, you are not attractive—you are leaking.
    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)

    No, no! I don’t, I don’t want to know your name. You don’t have a name, and I don’t have a name, either. No names here. Not one name.
    Bernardo Bertolucci (b. 1940)
