The voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God; and, however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed, it is not true to fact. The people are turbulent and changing, they seldom judge or determine right.
Alexander Hamilton
To be occasionally quoted is the only fame I care for.
Alexander Smith
I have suffered a great deal from writers who have quoted this or that sentence of mine either out of its context or in juxtaposition to some incongruous matter which quite distorted my meaning, or destroyed it altogether.
Alfred North Whitehead

Ambrose Bierce
I have been quoted saying that, in the future, all companies will be Internet companies. I still believe that. More than ever, really.
Andy Grove
I just got on Twitter because there was some MTV film blog that quoted me on something really innocuous that I supposedly said on Twitter before I was even on Twitter. So then I had to get on Twitter to say: 'This is me. I'm on Twitter. If there's somebody else saying that they're me on Twitter, they're not.'
Anna Kendrick
Oh, I got totally misquoted saying I can dance like Rihanna. I can't! What I did say is that I enjoy a dance-off with my stepdaughter and her friends.
Anna Maxwell Martin
I became a larger than life figure for one reason only. When you're quoted in the 'Wall Street Journal', the 'New York Times', constantly as the expert in the business people assume you're a lot bigger than you are. And then I had to run like hell to catch up with my own image.
Barbara Corcoran
I find the fact that billionaires are quoted as if the fact that they are billionaires gives them some kind of wisdom is outrageous.
Ben Elton
Silence is not only golden, it is seldom misquoted.
Bob Monkhouse
I tell you one you straight off in Scotland - Nick de Luca. I don't see his name quoted, but I've played against Nick quite a lot and he is a good player - one of the trickiest centres I've played against.
Brian O'Driscoll

Carl Honore
In my 20 years of baseball, I've been misquoted three or four times, and for someone who talks as much as I do, that's incredible.

Daphne Guinness
I'm the most misunderstood, misquoted person I know, honestly.
Dusty Springfield
Well, a lot of people don't want to be quoted. But keep in mind that Bob Woodward did all of his Watergate reporting with anonymous sources, and we know how that turned out.
Edward Klein
I don't know if my agent will be upset but I quoted him saying that he would jump out a window if I turn down another project.
Erika Christensen

Ezra Furman
If you were a computer and read all the AI articles and extracted out the names that are quoted, I guarantee you that women rarely show up. For every woman who has been quoted about AI technology, there are a hundred more times men were quoted.
Fei-Fei Li
Hanging is too good for a man who makes puns; he should be drawn and quoted.
Fred Allen
Truly, learning appears to be a reverse geometric progression with experiences at one hour, one day, one month or one year dramatically more influential and formative than later experiences. As has often been quoted, 85% of brain development takes place by age 3, and yet we spend only 4% of our educational dollars by that point.
I was often misquoted. I was supportive of my managers, even though they all may not think so.
The only thing that I react really violently to is being misquoted.

Tony La Russa was quoted as saying that I was using steroids back then, and I was talking about it in the clubhouse, openly.

Alinsky's 1971 book, 'Rules for Radicals,' is a favorite of the Obamas. Michele Obama quoted it at the Democratic Convention.

God - if the press ever quoted anyone correctly, it would be brilliant.
Now, forty years after his passing, Winston Churchill is still quoted, read, revered, and referred to as much, if not more, than when he was alive.
I'm really aware of the conversations that surround young actresses in Hollywood. I always get myself into a hole with these conversations, and I get weirdly quoted, and I sound militant and like I'm not thankful at all, and I'm so thankful of everything that's happening. But I'm an active observer of the machinations of this world.
I don't even like being quoted in a press release.
I've been so mutilated by a lot of articles. I know I haven't said a lot of things I'm quoted as saying in the papers.
