Quote

The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations.

I quote others only in order the better to express myself.

Quotations are useful in periods of ignorance or obscurantist beliefs.

The nice thing about quotes is that they give us a nodding acquaintance with the originator which is often socially impressive.

I always have a quotation for everything - it saves original thinking.

I pick my favourite quotations and store them in my mind as ready armour, offensive or defensive, amid the struggle of this turbulent existence.

The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotation.

If you have too many quotes from other people in your head, you can't create. You have to keep your head empty. That's why I am constantly enjoying the sky, the park, the walk.

I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.

Quotations, like much better things, has its abuses.
