Mention

Famous quotes containing the word mention:

“As a final instance of the force of limitations in the development of concentration, I must mention that beautiful creature, Helen Keller, whom I have known for these many years.

—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“All things seem mention of themselves
And the names which stem from them branch out to other referents.
Hugely, spring exists again.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
