A quotation is the representation of an utterance, introduced by a verb of saying. For example: John said: "I saw Mary today". Quotations are used to present well-knowns statements part that are explicitly attributed by citation to their original source. A quotation can refer to the repeated use of units of any other form of expression parts of artistic works: elements of a painting, scenes from a movie or sections from a musical composition. Quotations are used for a variety of reasons: to illuminate the meaning or to support the arguments of the work in which it is being quoted, to provide direct information about the work being quoted, to pay homage to the original work or author, to make the user of the quotation seem well-read, and/or to comply with copyright law. Quotations are commonly printed as a means of inspiration and to invoke philosophical thoughts from the reader. Pragmatically speaking, quotations can be used as language games to manipulate social order and the structure of society.
Famous quotations are collected in books that are sometimes called quotation dictionaries or treasuries. Of these, Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, The Columbia Dictionary of Quotations, The Yale Book of Quotations and The Macmillan Book of Proverbs and Famous Phrases are considered among the most reliable and comprehensive sources. Diaries and calendars include quotations for entertainment or inspirational purposes, small, dedicated sections in newspapers and weekly magazines—with recent quotations by leading personalities on current topics—have become commonplace. Many quotations are incorrect or attributed to the wrong authors, quotations from obscure or unknown writers are attributed to far more famous writers. Examples of this are Winston Churchill, to whom many political quotations of uncertain origin are attributed, Oscar Wilde, to whom anonymous humorous quotations are sometimes attributed; the Star Trek catchphrase "Beam me Scotty" did not appear in that form in the original series.
Other misquotations include "Just the facts, ma'am", "Heavy lies the crown" from Shakespeare's Play Henry IV, Part 2, "Elementary, my dear Watson", "Luke, I am your father", "Play it again, Sam", "Do you feel lucky, punk?" and "We don't need no stinkin' badges!"

Biff Brewster is the central character in a series of 13 adventure and mystery novels for adolescent boys written by Andy Adams. The series was published by Grosset & Dunlap between 1960 and 1965. Most titles were published in hardcover with full color dustjackets, like other Grosset & Dunlap juvenile series of the era, production costs were cut by dispensing with the dust jackets and featuring full color cover illustrations in their stead; this occurred only with the last three books in the series, reprints of the first three. The series follows Bruce "Biff" Brewster, a well-built, athletic sixteen-year-old who pursues adventure and mystery abroad with his father, Thomas Brewster, a former lieutenant in the United States Navy and, in the series, chief field engineer for the Ajax Mining Company; the series is distinguished for drawing on exotic locations as backgrounds. The series was published in British editions; some of the novels available on Project Gutenberg and LibriVox.
