Misattributed quotes and posts about misattributed quotes. Many things are lies, but the truth is easily found. As Thomas Jefferson once said, "Trust no one."

This is totally a thing that fishingboatproceeds said. It was definitely not one of taylorswift's lyrics from Blank Space.

As I recall, this quote is definitely, no lie, from Looking For Alaska.

Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

Thinking aloud through a movie or a TV show is like chewing with your mouth open. I'm glad you're enjoying, but I don't need a play-by-play.

Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices — just recognize them.

Tacos are not driving food.

If we confuse dissent with disloyalty — if we deny the right of the individual to be wrong, unpopular, eccentric or unorthodox — if we deny the essence of racial equality then hundreds of millions in Asia and Africa who are shopping about for a new allegiance will conclude that we are concerned to defend a myth and our present privileged status. Every act that denies or limits the freedom of the individual in this country costs us the ... confidence of men and women who aspire to that freedom and independence of which we speak and for which our ancestors fought.

Voltaire never said:

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

It was actually Evelyn Beatrice Hall, who was paraphrasing Voltaire’s beliefs.
