Copyright and Permissions

“All my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The question I'm asked most is about copyright and permissions, from people working on projects to be published. Requests for permission to use individual quotes must go through the original authors or their publishing companies. I am not familiar with the copyright guidelines for using individual quotations in published materials such as greeting cards and calendars. You might start by searching Google for "copyright," "fair use" or "fair dealing," contacting the author's publishing company, contacting an attorney, or using only works from authors who died more than 95 years ago, in which case the copyright has likely expired. As far as I am aware, compilations such as this site and other quotation anthologies are covered under fair use.
