Mention

Famous quotes containing the word mention:

“If any mention was made of homicide, madness, adultery, and intolerable tortures, we would let the church-bells ring louder, the church-organ swell its peal and drown the hideous sound. The sugar they raised was excellent: nobody tasted blood in it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“But this is neither here nor there—why do I mention it?—Ask my pen,—it governs me,—I govern not it.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

“Oh! no! we never mention her,
Her name is never heard;
My lips are now forbid to speak
That once familiar word.”
—Thomas Bayly (1797–1839)
