The Words of Others: From Quotations to Culture
Gary Saul Morson
Defines what makes a quote quotable, as well as the (unexpected) differences between quotation and misquotation. The author describes how quotations form, transform, and may eventually become idioms. Using amusing examples of "famous last words" and epitaphs, he also demonstrates how authorship and occasion can be an intrinsic part of a quotation.
