Misquote: "A Rose by any other name is still a rose."

Correct: "A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet" (Shakespeare, "Romeo & Juliet", 1594)

or

Correct: A rose is a rose is a rose. (Gertrude Stein "Geography & Plays", 1922) But Stein meant something different than Shakespeare, so it is not actually the same.

Plus, she did reuse the phrase over and over.

"Do we suppose that all she knows is that a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose." (Operas and Plays)

"... she would carve on the tree Rose is a Rose is a Rose is a Rose is a Rose until it went all the way around." (The World is Round)

"A rose tree may be a rose tree may be a rosy rose tree if watered." (Alphabets and Birthdays)

"Indeed a rose is a rose makes a pretty plate." (Stanzas in Meditation)
