Which phrase best defines quotation?

The best phrase to define quotation is "the exact words of another person, spoken or written, repeated by someone else."

Here's why:

* Exact words: Quotations must be precisely the same as the original source.

* Another person: They are always attributed to someone else, not your own words.

* Spoken or written: Quotations can come from spoken conversations, published articles, books, or any other written material.

* Repeated by someone else: You are re-using the words of the original speaker or writer.
