Learn English – Are there better ways to say “I like the sentence someone said” or “I love this sentence someone said”

colloquial-languagephrase-request

If I hear someone(esp. a very famous person) say something (e.g. a sentence) and I appreciate that sentence very much, what can I say?

"I like the sentence someone said" or "I love this sentence someone said" sounds awkward to me.

Best Answer

Both are fine, depending on context you might want to add "about"

I like the sentence someone said (about)...
I love this sentence someone said (about)...

If you use this usually you might quote the actual sentence you like.

I like the sentence President Kennedy said about going to the moon.

I love this sentence President Kennedy said: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
