More From William Safire

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.

Every book is a quotation; and every house is a quotation out of all forests, and mines, and stone quarries; and every man is a quotation from all his ancestors.

Quotation marks quotato marks! bah!

I keep bumping into that silly quotation attributed to me that says 640k of memory is enough. there's never a citation; the quotation just floats like a rumor, repeated again and again.

I am only too aware that i am open to rees's second law of quotation: "however sure you are that you have attributed a quotation correctly, an earlier source will be pointed out to you."

I like commas. i detest semi-colons — i don’t think they belong in a story. and i gave up quotation marks long ago. i found i didn’t need them, they were fly-specks on the page.

You lie when you're a teenager, i think, because your parents are treating you like you're younger and you - in your mind - think that you're so much older. you make up all of these lies because you think it's what you should do.
