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
of purple and are perfect for creating a feminine smoky eye.

Bobbi Brown


 

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.

Derrick Rose


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?

Delmore Schwartz


 

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.

When the rose and the cross are united the alchemical marriage is complete and the drama ends. Then we wake from history

and enter eternity.

Robert Anton Wilson


 

In my house, the Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl Game have always been a grand tradition for ringing in the New Year. To
serve as Grand Marshal is a dream come true and I look forward to sharing the celebration with all of the fans and viewers
worldwide.

Paula Deen


I did great things in the theater. I did some nice roles, 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly' or 'La Vie en Rose.' And I
love my role in 'Frantic.'

Emmanuelle Seigner


The United States encouraged Iraqis to rise up after Saddam Hussein's army was driven out of Kuwait. Washington assumed
Saddam was weak after losing the 1991 Gulf War. Iraqis rose up, but Saddam's troops killed thousands - Iraqis say tens of
thousands - in a counter-offensive.

Richard Engel


I was raised on the brothers Grimm, but my favorite fairy tales in the world are Oscar Wilde's - 'The Nightingale and the
Rose,' 'The Selfish Giant.' The latter is probably my all-time favorite.

Denis O'Hare


I remember walking down the aisle, and I got down on my knees as a person who is so selfish, but when I rose back up the
Lord had become the Master of my life.

Tim Scott


I love cocktails. My specialty drink is a gimlet with a little egg white in it so it gets frothy. I really like rose water
- sometimes I'll add it to champagne.

Christina Hendricks


A rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above, and
similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind.

Clive Bell


Donald had reached its further edge, and could hear the rush of the stream from the deep obscurity of the abyss below, when
there rose from the opposite side a strain of the most delightful music he had ever heard.

Hugh Miller


When the baby dies, On every side Rose stranger's voices, hard and harsh and loud. The baby was not wrapped in any shroud.
The mother made no sound. Her head was bowed That men's eyes might not see Her misery.
