Liberals dispute that Reagan won the Cold War on the basis of their capacity to put mocking quotation marks around the word, won. That's pretty much the full argument: Restate a factual proposition with sneering quote marks.

Ann Coulter

Beware the writer who always encloses the word *reality* in quotation marks: He's trying to slip something over on you. Or into you.

Edward Abbey

If you use a colloquialism or a slang word or phrase, simply use it; do not draw attention to it by enclosing it in quotation marks. To do so is to put on airs, as though you were inviting the reader to join you in a select society of those who know better.

William Strunk, Jr.

I took ethics classes in college, and it always amazes me how they [tabloids] will blatantly say something that I did not say, in quotation marks. The first thing that we learned in ethics is that you better have it right. If you're putting quotation marks around something, it better be exactly what that person said.

Carrie Underwood

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.

I know people are really interested in everything that the celebrities are doing, even if you don't consider yourself a "celebrity." What always would drive me crazy is - I took ethics classes in college - and it always amazes me how there would blatantly be something that I did not say in quotation marks. If you're putting quotation marks around it, it better be exactly what that person said.

Carrie Underwood

I don't want to use quotation marks anymore, I've gone back and forth with them. In Ghosts, I didn't use them, for instance, all the way back in the early eighties.

Paul Auster

Quotation marks quotato marks! Bah!

James Joyce

One thing that drives me nuts... well, let me ask you, when writers write do they not use quotation marks anymore?

John Grisham

Like italics and hyphens, quotation marks are to be used as sparingly as possible. They should light the way, not darken it.

Eric Partridge

Try scrolling through a regular teenager's Facebook or Instagram posts, everything is captioned with borrowed words or lyrics from songs, without any filters whatsoever and many times without quotation marks, because we all know what the millenials have done with punctuation.

Shweta Bachchan Nanda

We built [socialistic society] for the sake of real personal liberty, liberty without quotation marks.

Joseph Stalin

We are cooling. We are not warming. The warming you see out there, the supposed warming, and I use my finger quotation marks here, is part of the cooling process.

Michael Steele

In the museums, everything is in quotation marks.

Mason Cooley

Avoid overuse of 'quotation “marks.”'

William Safire

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"?
