Famous quotes containing the word names:

    “The names of all fine authors are fictitious ones, far more so than that of Junius,—simply standing, as they do, for the mystical, ever-eluding Spirit of all Beauty, which ubiquitously possesses men of genius.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “All the names of good and evil are parables: they do not declare, but only hint. Whoever among you seeks knowledge of them is a fool!”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Far from being antecedent principles that animate the process, law, language, truth are but abstract names for its results.”
    —William James (1842–1910)
