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)

    “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)
