Famous quotes containing the word mention:

“But that wasn’t fancy enough for Lord Byron, oh dear me no, he had to invent a lot of figures of speech and then interpolate them,
With the result that whenever you mention Old Testament soldiers to
people they say Oh yes, they’re the ones that a lot of wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

“But this is neither here nor there—why do I mention it?—Ask my pen,—it governs me,—I govern not it.”
