About This Quote

People often lose their names. Names fall into holes or get eaten by wild animals. Sometimes they’re carried away by the wind, meaning that names are important because they are what makes us unique. Some people can’t help but be forgotten, even though they were once honored and famous. If you were named after someone famous, it means that you were thought of as someone who could be just as great as the person you were named after.
