The attribution of a speaker is in fact a part of the quotation. Some statements simply are better if a certain famous person said them.

An anthology of quotations is a museum of utterances.

Some lines are born quotations, some are made quotations, and some have "quotation" thrust upon them.

We sometimes think of quotations as extracts from larger texts, but some quotations originated complete unto themselves.

A single gnomic line can come to resonate with centuries of subsequent wisdom.

I wonder if "an" ever occurs before "haughty" except in a quotation, or whether you can make anything sound like a quotation by adding a word like "goeth"?

Not everything that can be extracted appears in anthologies of quotations, in commonplace books, or on the back of Celestial Seasonings boxes. Only certain sorts of extracts become quotations.

Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance

Tell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are.

There are a million things one might do with a block of wood. But what do you think might happen if someone, just once, believed in it?

You should turn around at the end of the day and say I really like that piece of work, or that piece of work sucked. Not, was that popular or wasn't it popular?

I play computer games, watch TV and do what normal people do.

And ordering me around is exactly the wrong way to make me do what you want.

Know what you want, decide when you want it, figure your plan of action, follow through on it, and never doubt.

It is contrary to reasoning to say that there is a vacuum or space in which there is absolutely nothing.
