Names govern the world.
Hannah More

Names have power. In certain cultures, just speaking a man's name gives you mastery over him.
Bentley Little
Image
Names are but noise and smoke, Obscuring heavenly light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Names are still magic even Sharon, Karen, Darren, and Warren are magic to somebody somewhere. In fairy stories, naming is knowledge. When I know your name, I can call your name, and when I call your name, you'll come to me.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Names and theoretical things don't occur to me. If they do, I'm not doing my real playing mode.
Lee Konitz
Image
Names which tell stories have been worth millions of dollars. So a great deal of research often precedes the selection of a name.
Claude C. Hopkins

Names are not always what they seem. The common Welsh name Bzjxxllwcp is pronounced Jackson.
Mark Twain
Image
Names for bands lose their meaning after a little while. They become a series of sounds that you associate with people in music, really. The most important thing about choosing a name for a band is if you can imagine forty-thousand people screaming it in unison.
Brian Molko
Image
Names can be a doorway into knowing who a person is, and that is certainly true of God. A study of His names is a study of who He is and will be for you.
David Jeremiah
Image
Names are hard. I have a library of What to Name Your Baby books, and I’m always picking up new books, and books of baby names from other countries. I like cool-sounding names.
George R. R. Martin
Image
Names and individuals are unimportant when Germany's final fate is at stake.
Franz von Papen

Names have a mysterious transforming power. Like a ring on a finger, a name may at first seem merely accidental, committing you to nothing but before you realize its magical power, it's gotten under your skin, become part of you and your destiny.
Stefan Zweig
Image
Names come and names go.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Names don't matter, CVs don't matter, previous publications don't matter at all, because, in a certain way, the ideal is for someone to come completely out of left field. And still, of course, it is hard to say no to a writer who matters a lot to you and who you know matters to your readers.
Lorin Stein
Image
Names are not always what they seem.
Mark Twain
Image
Names are changed more readily than doctrines, and doctrines more readily than ceremonies.
Thomas Love Peacock
Image
They have all different names for music. I think the music I'm going to change the style with is going to be really, really big-years and years after I'm gone.
Ike Turner
Image
Animals that not only move by their own free will and share feelings with people but also possess sight and hearing qualify as deserving of names.
Haruki Murakami
Image
Just as primitive man believed himself to stand face to face with demons and believed that could he but know their names he would become their master, so is contemporary man faced by this incomprehensible, which disorders his calculations.
Karl Jaspers
Image
Of calling shapes, and beck'ning shadows dire, And airy tongues that syllable men's names.
John Milton
Image
I am a student of comparative religion, but whatever I read, you scratch a little bit and underneath is the oneness. You call it different names, yes, according to the time, according to the place, according to the people, but it is all one.
Irina Tweedie
Image
All names and forms are the garbs and covers under which the one life is hidden.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
I have this idea that every time we discover that the names we're being called are somehow keeping us less than free, we need to come up with new names for ourselves, and that the names we give ourselves must no longer reflect a fear of being labeled outsiders, must no longer bind us to a system that would rather see us dead.
Kate Bornstein

Everyone's very relaxed about brand names in television.
