Newly Acquired Vmtv

Famous quotes containing the words newly and/or acquired:

    Shew’d him his room where he must lodge that night,
    Pull’d off his Boots, and took away the light:
    If any ask for him, it shall be sed,
    Hobson has supt, and ‘s newly gon to bed.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
