I have frequently been misrepresented. I don't hate the press; I find a lot of it is very unpalatable.

Prince Philip

I've heard it quoted that I was dead. You can't believe anything you read. That was just an off-hand remark somebody picked up, and now it's been quoted and quoted, and therefore misquoted.

Tom Lehrer

Public circulation is what renders something a quotation. It's quotable because it's been quoted, and its having been quoted gives it authority.

Louis Menand

If you were a computer and read all the AI articles and extracted out the names that are quoted, I guarantee you that women rarely show up. For every woman who has been quoted about AI technology, there are a hundred more times men were quoted.

Fei-Fei Li

Many of the stranger but most frequently quoted scenes in 'Billy Madison' were unplanned.

Tamra Davis

I'm frequently surprised, sometimes bugged off, and sometimes happy, depending on the actor. It's a fact of life that just as often as not an actor can breathe life into a line as he can destroy it by misinterpretation, and I've been blessed frequently by having good actors.

Rod Serling

The lines of poetry, the period of prose, and even the texts of Scripture most frequently recollected and quoted, are those which are felt to be preeminently musical.

William Shenstone

All this is labour which never meets the eye.... But too open and generous a revelation of the chapter and the page of the original quoted, has often proved detrimental to the legitimate honours of the quoter. They are unfairly appropriated by the next comer; the quoter is never quoted, but the authority he has afforded is produced by his successor with the air of an original research.

Isaac D'Israeli

I am the most misunderstood and misrepresented of men. Misrepresented because misunderstood.

Isaac Parker

I'm in England so often I haven't really left, but Americans aren't at all like they're misrepresented through their politicians.

John Lydon

it's been my experience that while impossible things happen frequently, improbable ones never do.

Craig L. Rice

Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. Women often have to flee from the only homes they have ever known. Women are often the refugees from conflict and sometimes, more frequently in today's warfare, victims. Women are often left with the responsibility, alone, of raising the children.

Hillary Clinton

The Bible has lost every major battle it has ever fought. The Bible was quoted to defend slavery and the bible lost. The Bible was quoted to keep women silent, and the Bible lost. And the Bible is being quoted to deny homosexuals their equal rights, and the Bible will lose.

John Shelby Spong

When I grew up in the South, I was taught that segregation was the will of God, and the Bible was quoted to prove it. I was taught that women were by nature in inferior to men, and the Bible was quoted to prove it. I was taught that it was okay to hate other religions, and especially the Jews, and the Bible was quoted to prove it.

John Shelby Spong

God - if the press ever quoted anyone correctly, it would be brilliant.
