It&#x27;s not only quotation websites.
In Germany &quot;If I Had More Time, I Would Have Written a Shorter Letter&quot; is a well-known quote from Goethe - except that it isn&#x27;t from Goethe.
To the best of my knowledge it is from Blaise Pascal and it took me about an hour of research to be confident enough use the quote with this attribution.<p>This was way too much time spent for a simple quotation, so my question is: Is there a reliable canonical source for quotations? Maybe something good journalists use?<p>I know there are several quotation dictionaries but are they any good?
