- Recuerdos de mi vida, Vol. 2, Historia de mi labor científica. Madrid: Moya, 1917, p. 76.

Famous quotes containing the word quote:
“We rarely quote nowadays to appeal to authority ... though we quote sometimes to display our sapience and erudition. Some authors we quote against. Some we quote not at all, offering them our scrupulous avoidance, and so make them part of our “white mythology.” Other authors we constantly invoke, chanting their names in cerebral rituals of propitiation or ancestor worship.”
—Ihab Hassan (b. 1925)
“I’m Sorry, now, I Wrote it,
But I can Tell you Anyhow,
I’ll Kill you if you Quote it.”
—Gelett Burgess (1866–1951)
“That’s the nice thing about this job. You get to quote yourself shamelessly. If you don’t, Larry Speakes will.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
