(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A quotation is a fragment of a human expression that is being referred to by somebody else. Most often an quotation is taken from literature, but also sentences from a speech, scenes from a movie, elements of a painting, etc. may be quoted.
Proverbs and quotations have similar cultural influence. In case of extensive quoting from a work one needs to consider copyright and fair use.
A sister project of Wikimedia Foundation called Wikiquote has been created on June 27, 2003 as a free online encyclopedia of quotations in every language. The project is located at http://quote.wikipedia.org. Diversitas is another free and open source project based on user-edited quotations in all languages.
