Place Names

Famous quotes containing the words place and/or names:

“Man could not live if he were entirely impervious to sadness. Many sorrows can be endured only by being embraced, and the pleasure taken in them naturally has a somewhat melancholy character. So, melancholy is morbid only when it occupies too much place in life; but it is equally morbid for it to be wholly excluded from life.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)

“At present our only true names are nicknames.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
