Famous quotes containing the words common and/or names:

    The educated do not share a common body of information, but a common state of mind.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Tonight there are only the winter stars.
    The sky is no longer a junk-shop,
    Full of javelins and old fire-balls,
    Triangles and the names of girls.
