Famous quotes containing the word quotation:

    “The habit some writers indulge in of perpetual quotation is one it behoves lovers of good literature to protest against, for it is an insidious habit which in the end must cloud the stream of thought, or at least check spontaneity. If it be true that le style c’est l’homme, what is likely to happen if l’homme is for ever eking out his own personality with that of some other individual?”
    —Dame Ethel Smyth (1858–1944)

    “It is an old error of man to forget to put quotation marks where he borrows from a woman’s brain!”
    —Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

    “Every quotation contributes something to the stability or enlargement of the language.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
