Proper Names

Famous quotes containing the words proper and/or names:

    Out of coils,
    Unscrewed, released, no more to be marvelous,
    I shall walk straightly through most proper halls
    Proper myself, princess of properness.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    The names of all fine authors are fictitious ones, far more so than that of Junius,—simply standing, as they do, for the mystical, ever-eluding Spirit of all Beauty, which ubiquitously possesses men of genius.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
