[edit] Quotations

• 1611, King James Version of the Bible (Authorized Version)^[1]: Acts 9:4:

  Then Saul, ( who is also called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him

• 1848 Charles Dickens, Dombey and Son: Chapter 1:

  'He will be christened Paul, my - Mrs Dombey - of course.'

  She feebly echoed, 'Of course,' or rather expressed it by the motion of her lips, and closed her eyes again.

  'His father's name, Mrs Dombey, and his grandfather's! I wish his grandfather were alive this day! There is some inconvenience in the necessity of writing Junior,' said Mr Dombey, making a fictitious autograph on his knee; 'but it is merely of a private and personal complexion. It doesn't enter into the correspondence of the House. Its signature remains the same.'
