3 QUOTES WITH «QUOTABLE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word quotable.
1
Seth Gordon
There's a dangerous bottom-lining, and super-summarizing that happens in a lot of our press and our media, and sort of our politicians' talking points, that's dangerously simple. I don't know a better way to say it. And there's usually a lot more complicated facts going on than what is quoted and quotable.
2
Sebastian Horsley
I don't talk, I quote. I can't help it. It's better to be quotable than honest.
