Name Quotes

Using someone’s name during a conversation was like a casual caress, like stroking their hair Picture Quote #1

Sometimes there is a wellspring or river of something beautiful and possible in the tenderest sense that comes to and from the most broken of children, and I was one of these, and whatever is was, I can’t name, I can only thank. Perhaps it is the water of life that saves us, after all Picture Quote #1

An object is not so attached to its name that we cannot find another one that would suit it better Picture Quote #1

The name of the author is the first to go followed obediently by the title, the plot, the heartbreaking conclusion, the entire novel which suddenly becomes one you have never read, never even heard of, as if, one by one, the memories you used to harbor decided to retire to the southern hemisphere of the brain, to a little fishing village where there are no phones Picture Quote #1

Sometimes words just don’t get you there... don’t let you say all the stuff from deep in your heart, stuff that no dictionary has a name for Picture Quote #1

Time heals all wounds. And if it doesn’t, you name them something other than wounds and agree to let them stay Picture Quote #1

Fate is just another word for people’s choices coming to a head. Destiny, coincidence, whatever you name it. It inevitably lies in our hands Picture Quote #1

She had wanted more than she could have. She had wanted him, and more... she had wanted him to want her. In the name of something bigger than tradition, bolder than reputation, more important than a silly title Picture Quote #1

She’d never in her whole life bunked school, smoked dope, or kissed a boy whose name she didn’t know, and yet in the last few days, she’d done all these things Picture Quote #1

Let me tell something, seeing your name and psychiatric ward on the same piece of paper isn’t the best way to start your day Picture Quote #1

If a man has to make a woman the center of his love, why should he integrate animality into this sacred human emotion?... Is love incompelete without it?... Is love the name of physical excersize? Picture Quote #1

There comes a time when a man finds himself in front of a dark uncrossable abyss, which he himself has spent years digging. He cannot go forward, and has no way back. Words have failed, tears won’t help, and who would he call out to? He can’t even remember his own name. Then the man sees that on this god’s green earth there is but one true suffering: the torment of guilty conscience Picture Quote #1

I can laugh at peasants and townies chained all their lives to a tiny corner of the earth while I roam its face and see its wonders, but when I go down, there will be no child to carry my name, no family to mourn me save my comrades, no one to remember, no one to raise a marker over my cold bit of ground Picture Quote #1

Once I was lost in a forest. I was so afraid. My blood pounded in my chest and I knew my heart’s strength would soon be exhausted. I saved myself without thinking. I grasped the two syllables closest to me, and replaced my heartbeat with your name Picture Quote #1

There are all these people here I don’t know by sight or by name. And we pass alongside each other and don’t have any connection. And they don’t know me and I don’t know them. And now I’m leaving town and there are all these people I will never know Picture Quote #1

I’m going to be so normal that when people look up normal in the dictionary, my name will be there Picture Quote #1

And the prince who had once been a bear pulled close the girl who had once had no name, and kissed her Picture Quote #1

I want to leave behind me the name of a fellow who never bullied a little boy, or turned his back on a big one Picture Quote #1

I lean over you, your equal, offering you a mirror for your perfect nothingness, for your shadows which are neither light nor absence of light, for this void which contemplates. To all that which you are, and, for our language, are not, I add a consciousness. I make you experience your supreme identity as a relationship, I name you and define you. You become a delicious passivity Picture Quote #1

Rafe asks him, could the king’s freedom be obtained, sir, with more economy of means? Less bloodshed? Look, he says: once you have exhausted the process of negotiation and compromise, one you have fixed on the destruction of an enemy, that destruction must be swift and it must be perfect. Before you even glance in his direction, you should have his name on a warrant, the ports blocked, his wife and friends bought, his heir under your protection, his money in your strong room and his dog running to your whistle. Before he wakes in the morning, you should have the axe in your hand Picture Quote #1

Those are only rumors of suffering. Real suffering has a face and a smell. It lasts in the most intense form no matter what you drape over it. And it knows your name Picture Quote #1

You’re trying not to tell him you love him, and you’re trying to choke down the feeling, and you’re trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you’ve discovered something you don’t even have a name for Picture Quote #1

I can’t name the poison that’s killing your friend. But the one that’s killing you is called hope Picture Quote #1

If patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, it is not merely because evil deeds may be performed in the name of patriotism, but because patriotic fervor can obliterate moral distinctions altogether Picture Quote #1

When someone steals another’s clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not? The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry; the coat unused in your closet belongs to the one who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the one who has no shoes; the money which you hoard up belongs to the poor Picture Quote #1

I still don’t feel whatever change you’re supposed to feel when your name goes up above the title Picture Quote #1

If we see an object as a bowl, it may inhibit seeing it as craft, just as seeing it as craft might inhibit seeing it as art. See first; name later Picture Quote #1

Equality comes in realizing that we are all doing different jobs for a common purpose. That is the aim behind any community. The very name community means let’s come together to recognize the unity. Come... unity Picture Quote #1

Professions of humility are the very cream, the very essence of pride; the really humble person wishes to be, and not to appear so. Humility is timorous, and starts at her shadow; and so delicate that if she hears her name pronounced it endangers her existence Picture Quote #1

... every tree near our house had a name of its own and a special identity. This was the beginning of my love for natural things, for earth and sky, for roads and fields and woods, for trees and grass and flowers; a love which has been second only to my sense of enduring kinship with birds and animals, and all inarticulate creatures Picture Quote #1
