Help turn Freebase into a giant dictionary of quotations by adding your favorite quotations here.To add a new quotation, follow these simple steps:Name the quotation. For relatively short quotations, the full quotation can be the title. For longer quotes, enter a part of the quotation as the title, followed (or preceded) by an ellipsis (...) to indicate that it is not the full quote. Then enter the full quotation in the description section for the quote.If you know the author, you can enter him or her. For anonymous quotes, leave the author blank.If you know the source of the quote (i.e., a particular book, poem, play, film, speech, etc.), you can enter that as well. Leave "source of quote" empty if you don't know where it comes from. (If the source isn't already in Freebase, please edit the quotation source's topic page and add the appropriate type: film, tv program, book, etc.)The quotation subject can be just about anything, as long as the quotation is pertinent to it.If the quotation is spoken by a fictional character, attribute the quotation to the original author and add fill in the 'spoken by character' property.
