“The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.”
Lao Tzu
“The Tao [Way] that can be told of is not the eternal Tao;The name that can be named is not the eternal name.The Nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth;The Named is the mother of all things.Therefore, let there always be non-being, so we may see their subtlety,And let there always be being, so we may see their outcome.The two are the same,But after they are produced, they have different names.They both may be called deep and profound.Deeper and more profound,The door of all subtleties!”
“I hardly knew the man's name, ... He really invented me. He needed me for his political purposes, so I'm a figment of his imagination.”
George Soros
“I don't want to name names. But sometimes when actors are monosyllabic it makes it difficult to have a good story.”
Eleanor Mondale
“The market for short stories is hard to break into, but a magazine editor isn't always looking for big names with which to sell his magazine - they're more willing to try stories by newcomers, if those tales are good.”
Eric Brown
