Quote of the Day

I can't find a quote / author - help!
The best way to find a quote is to perform a search of the database. You can choose to search quotes, names, proverbs or a combination thereof. The search works on an exact word match - therefore "quotes about Shakespeare" is not as effective as simply "Shakespeare".

If the search query you want to perform has 3 characters or less, or if you are not sure how to spell the name, try using our relaxed wildcard search - here typing "shak" would return "william shakespeare", whereas with our standard search this would return no results.

I added a quote but you haven't listed it. Why?
Three possibilities:
1 - We haven't yet audited the quote you submitted - please be patient
2 - The quote was incorrect or contained spelling mistakes and has been deleted
3 - the quote is already listed or was rejected by one of our reviewers

I'm suspicious of FAQs. Are these questions real or made up?
Yes! The above are answers to some of the most common questions we receive, obviously paraphrased to make them short and snappy. Of course we get asked hundreds of questions but these are the most common, not our own wish list of questions.
