Famous quotes containing the word quotation:

    “In the dying world I come from quotation is a national vice. It used to be the classics, now it’s lyric verse.”
    —Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)

    “In the theater, while you recognized that you were looking at a house, it was a house in quotation marks. On screen, the quotation marks tend to be blotted out by the camera.”
    —Arthur Miller (b. 1915)

    “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)
