This app collects over 13,000 quotations and proverbs from two award-winning Yale University Press references: The Yale Book of Quotations (editor Fred R. Shapiro) and its companion, The Dictionary of Modern Proverbs (compilers Charles Clay Doyle, Wolfgang Mieder, and Fred R. Shapiro).

The collection has a particular focus on American quotations and proverbs. Sources range from classic literature and history to film, music, sport, technology, science, politics, and law, so it is useful for speeches, essays, presentations, and simple curiosity.

You can search all entries in both books, look up quotations by subject, or simply browse. A Quotation of the Day offers something new to discover, and favourite quotations and proverbs can be shared by email or on social media. It is an enjoyable reference for writers, students, and lovers of language.
