Quotation, n: The act of repeating erroneously the words of another.
Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary
Quotations
Most of these quotations come from the book "Le Bouquin des Citations" that my friend Olivier gave me, which I have been constantly keeping beside me for the last 2 years during my stays in France, the Netherlands, Vietnam and now in the United States. I will keep adding new quotations regularly. If you have interesting ones, just send me an email.
