How to find the author of a quote?

I have a quote and don't know who the author is. How can I find the author without searching tons of authors?

  • Answer:

    Buy a book called "The Penguin Dictionary of Quotations", or another comparable one. You can look up key words, or browse under the authors.

Try putting the quote or key words of it into a search engine, or go to a quote database and look for yours in its category. Or tell us what the quote is and hope someone knows.
