Mention

Famous quotes containing the word mention:

“It is perfectly right for a gentleman to say “ladies and gentlemen,” but a lady should say, “gentlemen and ladies.” You mention your friend’s name before you do your own. I always feel like rebuking any woman who says, “ladies and gentlemen.” It is a lack of good manners.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

“A kind of Pythagorean terror, as though the irrationality of pi were an offence against the deity, not to mention his creature.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

“Don’t mention the war.”
—John Cleese (b. 1939)
