Posthumous Names

Famous quotes containing the words posthumous and/or names:

    One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
    Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

    It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. Names are everything. I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words.... The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one. It is the only thing he is fit for.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
