Famous quotes containing the word leaving:
“A name with meaning could bring up a child,
Taking the child out of the parents hands.
Better a meaningless name, I should say,
As leaving more to nature and happy chance.
Name children some names and see what you do.”

Upended in a puddle somewhere
As though dead were just another adjective.”
