Famous quotes containing the word quotation:
“We are as much informed of a writers genius by what he selects as by what he originates. We read the quotation with his eyes, and find a new and fervent sense; as a passage from one of the poets, well recited, borrows new interest from the rendering. As the journals say, the italics are ours.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“In the dying world I come from quotation is a national vice. It used to be the classics, now its lyric verse.”
—Evelyn Waugh (19031966)
“Every quotation contributes something to the stability or enlargement of the language.”
—Samuel Johnson (17091784)
