The most interesting letters I received about 'The Name of the Rose' were from people in the Midwest that maybe didn't
understand exactly, but wanted to understand more and who were excited by this picture of a world which was not their own.

Umberto Eco


 

I can go completely berserk with the makeup, depending on the event. I'm currently in this very mod stage. I wear false
lashes and color on my eyelids. I'm really liking shiny eyelids in copper, rose, gold, or silver.

I named all my children after flowers. There's Lillie and Rose and my son, Artificial.

The great fear that hung over the business community in the 1970s was death by regulation, and the great goal of the
conservative movement, as it rose to triumph in the 1980s, was to remove that threat - to keep OSHA, the EPA, and the FTC
from choking off entrepreneurship with their infernal meddling in the marketplace.

Thomas Frank


 

I would like to thank those who spoke boldly against the 'gay marriage float' in the 2014 Rose Parade. Apparently, that
vigorous opposition came from perhaps millions of people, and it had a significant influence on how the matter was handled
on network and cable television.

James Dobson


I earned my first steady paycheck watering rose bushes at a nursery for a dollar an hour.

John Grisham


 

It may be that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet,' but I should be loath to see a rose on a
maiden's breast substituted by a flower, however beautiful and fragrant it might be, that is went by the name of the skunk
lily.

The Lilac Rose Collection isn't just about purple. It features dusty pinks and heather grays, which are more natural shades

I want to thank my mom, Brenda Rose. My heart, the reason I play the way I play, just everything. Just knowing the days I
don't feel right, going to practice, having a hard time, I think about her when she had to wake me up, go to work and make
sure I was all right. Those were hard days.

From each one of them rose separate columns of smoke, meeting in a pall overhead, and through the smoke came stabbing
flashes of fire as German shells burst with thudding shocks of sound. This was the front line of battle.

We are not saying that if you believe in evolution that you can't be a Christian, not at all. Because the Bible says that
by grace you are saved. You don't save yourself. It is by confessing the Lord Jesus and that he was rose from the dead that
you are saved.

Ken Ham


 

The history of Buenos Aires is written in its telephone directory. Pompey Romanov, Emilio Rommel, Crespina D. Z. de Rose,
Ladislao Radziwil, and Elizabeta Marta Callman de Rothschild - five names taken at random from among the R's - told a story
of exile, desolation, disillusion, and anxiety behind lace curtains.

Bruce Chatwin


 

What was the freedom to which the adult human being rose in the morning, if each act was held back or inspired by the
overpowering ghost of a little child?

I have never played a game for the national title. Our goals always have been to win the Big Ten title and the Rose Bowl.
If we do that, then we consider it a successful season.
