Names Quotes

It so clichÃƒÂ© to say some guys and girls need to step up, but there can be bigger stars and bigger names when people get their chance Picture Quote #1

I do this a lot with names. I’ll start with a name, and then for some reason he won’t talk much, or he’s older than I pictured him just because of a name I give him.

I don’t like giving names to generations. It’s like trying to read the song title on a record that’s spinning Picture Quote #1

Still, I wonder if more women artists, musicians and writers aren’t household names because we don’t have enough faith in our own pursuits to give ourselves the time we desperately need to be transformed by a creative vision. Maybe that glass ceiling isn’t really made of glass at all, but of sticky little fingers, dishes piled in the sink, and mortgages that demand two incomes Picture Quote #1

It is not that Christ is superior to Allah, not that Allah is everything and Brahma is nothing, but it is the same one whom you call either Brahma or Allah, or Almighty, or by a hundred other names. The names are different but God is one and the same Picture Quote #1

Why don’t the names of Buddha, Mohammed, Confucius offend people? The reason is that these others didn’t claim to be God, but Jesus did Picture Quote #1

Bill Russell is one of the great names in basketball, an all-American... and the only athlete to ever win an NCAA Championship, an Olympic Gold Medal, and a professional championship all in the same year-1956...But Bill Russell had this one problem: He threw up before every game Picture Quote #1

I’ve been called many names like perfectionist, difficult and obsessive. I think it takes obsession, takes searching for the details for any artist to be good Picture Quote #1

Groups that advocate open government have argued that it’s vital to know the names of White House visitors, who may have an outsized influence on policy matters Picture Quote #1

I love Twitter, and my little corner of it is heavily weighted in favour of women, many of them writers: Caitlin Moran, India Knight, Lauren Laverne, Grace Dent, Deborah Orr, Marina Hyde, Suzanne Moore. I look at that list of names and think, ‘Here comes the fun - fun that knows its way around a dictionary.’ Picture Quote #1

A few names were known in full, some in part, some not at all. No one cared.

In entertainment, whether it’s movies or television or whatever, I’m a great audience, but I don’t remember the names of the people I’ve seen or the groups that I’ve heard Picture Quote #1

The only thing I ever withheld from the KGB were the names of two agents whom I personally had known and handled and had a particular feeling for Picture Quote #1

Hands-on experience at the critical time, not systematic knowledge, is what counts in the making of a naturalist. Better to be an untutored savage for a while, not to know the names or anatomical detail. Better to spend stretches of time just searching and dreaming Picture Quote #1
