Famous quotes containing the word names:

    “Shut out that stealing moon,
    She wears too much the guise she wore
    Before our lutes were strewn
    With years-deep dust, and names we read
    On a white stone were hewn.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

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