Best Quotes about Quotations
When a thing has been said and well, have no scruple. Take it and copy it.
Anatole France
Now we sit through Shakespeare in order to recognize the quotations.
Orson Welles
There is not less wit nor less invention in applying rightly a thought one finds in a book, than in being the first author of that thought.
Pierre Bayle
A quotation at the right moment is like bread to the famished.
Talmud, The
I shall never be ashamed of citing a bad author if the line is good.
Seneca
It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.
Sir Winston Churchill
One has to secrete a jelly in which to slip quotations down people's throats --and one always secretes too much jelly.
Woolf, Virginia
Quotation... A writer expresses himself in words that have been used before because they give his meaning better than he can give it himself, or because they are beautiful or witty, or because he expects them to touch a cord of association in his reader, or because he wishes to show that he is learned and well read. Quotations due to the last motive are invariably ill-advised; the discerning reader detects it and is contemptuous; the undiscerning is perhaps impressed, but even then is at the same time repelled, pretentious quotations being the surest road to tedium.
Fowler, Henry W.
A fine quotation is a diamond in the hand of a man of wit and a pebble in the hand of a fool.
Roux, Joseph
Our best thoughts come from others.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The profoundest thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, until an equal mind and heart finds and publishes it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
I quote others in order to better express myself.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Classical quotation is the parole of literary men all over the world.
Samuel Johnson
Quotation, n: The act of repeating erroneously the words of another.
Ambrose Bierce
Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is quoted than when we read it in the original author?
Philip G. Hamerton
I have suffered a great deal from writers who have quoted this or that sentence of mine either out of its context or in juxtaposition to some incongruous matter which quite distorted my meaning , or destroyed it altogether.
Alfred North Whitehead
That is the point of quotations. One can use another's words to be insulting.
Cross, Amanda
Quotations offer one kind of break in what the eye can see, the ear can hear.
Hassan, Ihab
If you have any doubts that we live in a society controlled by men, try reading down the index of contributors to a volume of quotations, looking for women's names.
Elaine Gill
Quotations in my work are like wayside robbers who leap out armed and relieve the stroller of his conviction.
Benjamin, Walter
The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotation.
Benjamin Disraeli
People will accept your ideas much more readily if you tell them Benjamin Franklin said it first.
David H. Comins
Every quotation contributes something to the stability or enlargement of the language.
Samuel Johnson
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
Oscar Wilde
A thought is often original, though you have uttered it a hundred times.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Misquotations are the only quotations that are never misquoted.
Hesketh Pearson
A book that furnishes no quotations is no book -- it is a plaything.
Peacock, Thomas Love
Everything of importance has been said before by somebody who did not discover it.
Alfred North Whitehead
A book of quotations . . . can never be complete.
Robert M. Hamilton
A quotation in a speech, article or book is like a rifle in the hands of an infantryman. It speaks with authority.
Brendan Francis
I pick my favorite quotation and store them in my mind as ready armor, offensive or defensive, amid the struggle of this turbulent existence.
Burns, Robert
Next to being witty yourself, the best thing is being able to quote another's wit.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
I am reminded of the professor who, in his declining hours, was asked by his devoted pupils for his final counsel. He replied,'Verify your quotations.'
Sir Winston Churchill
He wrapped himself in quotations- as a beggar would enfold himself in the purple of Emperors.
Rudyard Kipling
I think we must quote whenever we feel that the allusion is interesting or helpful or amusing.
Fadiman, Clifton
He wrapped himself in quotations -- as a beggar would enfold himself in the purple of Emperors.
Kipling, Rudyard
I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
George Bernard Shaw
In quoting of books, quote such authors as are usually read; others you may read for your own satisfaction, but not name them.
Selden, John
Be careful -- with quotations, you can damn anything.
Andre Malraux
I not only use all the brains I have but all I can borrow.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
When we would prepare the mind by a forcible appeal, and opening quotation is a symphony precluding on the chords those tones we are about to harmonize.
Disraeli, Benjamin
I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.
Marlene Dietrich
Misquotation is, in fact, the pride and privilege of the learned. A widely-read man never quotes accurately, for the rather obvious reason that he has read too widely.
Pearson, Hesketh
In the dying world I come from quotation is a national vice. It used to be the classics, now it's lyric verse.
Waugh, Evelyn
Immortality. I notice that as soon as writers broach this question they begin to quote. I hate quotation. Tell me what you know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Quotations are useful in periods of ignorance or obscurantist beliefs.
Debord, Guy
When one begins to live by habit and by quotation, one has begun to stop living.
Baldwin, James
Write a wise saying and your name will live forever.
I might repeat to myself slowly and soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound - if I can remember any of the damn things.
Dorothy Parker
An epigram often flashes light into regions where reason shines but dimly.
Edwin P. Whipple
