Famous quotes containing the word quotation:

    “We are as much informed of a writer’s 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 (1803–1882)

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

    “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)
