Take a simple name like Nicholas: you can rhyme it with ridiculous. If you aren’t too meticulous. You know, every word’s rhymable. – Sammy Cahn
When you’re guest-starring, it’s very nice, but you’re there very briefly, and it’s right there in the name: You’re a guest. It’s very hard to get a real sense of belonging. With recurring and regular roles, at least you have a sense that this is a home and a steady place. – Zeljko Ivanek
I wanted to see my name on the cover of a book. If your name is in the Library of Congress, you’re immortal. – Tom Clancy
The Shakespeare that Shakespeare became is the name that’s attached to these astonishing objects that he left behind. – Stephen Greenblatt
In Malaysia, we have a lot of divas, like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey singers. And they were all so so talented, just very talented. For example, there’s this one jazz singer, her name is Sheila Majid, and I was always singing her songs. – Yuna

Mostly I listen to old-time music, some bluegrass, some Americana stuff, too many to name. But of the younger acts, there are The Freight Hoppers, who were big in the ’90s, and The Foghorn Stringband from Oregon, and there’s a lot of young string bands coming up now, basically punkers who play acoustic instruments forming new bands. – Tommy Ramone
Patrick Pearse – who set the events of 1916 in motion when he read the Proclamation of the Irish Republic from the steps of the General Post Office in Dublin – is not exactly an unfamiliar name to the Miramichi Irish. – Terry Glavin

Agnes Darling, if such should be we never meet again, while firing my last shot, I will gently breathe the name of my wife – Agnes – and with wishes even for my enemies I will make the plunge and try to swim to the other shore. – Wild Bill Hickok
