Up The Octave!

quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur

About me:
I was once a highly-active editor under another name. If think you recognise me, I'd be much obliged if you didn't dig any further. As I value my anonymity, I would prefer not to provide personal details other than this disclosure.

"Quotation, n. The act of repeating erroneously the words of another."
Ambrose Bierce, in The Devil's Dictionary (1911)

"The surest way to make a monkey of a man is to quote him."
