Long A: The most frequently asked question I get is on copyright and permissions, from people working on projects to be published. If you need permission to use a particular quote, that request would need to go through the original author or their publishing company. I am not familiar with the copyright guidelines for using individual quotations in published materials such as greeting cards and calendars. Some cases might be covered under fair use, but if in doubt you will probably want to request permission. An exception is material from authors who died more than 95 years ago, in which case the copyright has likely expired. As far as I am aware, compilations such as this site and other published quotation anthologies are covered under fair use. To learn more, visit the U.S. Copyright Office's extensive FAQ at copyright.gov or search Google for copyright, fair use (U.S.), or fair dealing (international).
