Ambrose Bierce, Des Teufels Wörterbuch (The Devil’s Dictionary)

Der ganze Eintrag lautet:

Quotation, n: The act of repeating erroneously the words of another.

Intent on making his quotation truer,
He sought the page infallible of Brewer,
Then made a solemn vow that we would be
Condemned eternally. Ah me, ah me!
