The most familiar quotations are the most likely to be misquoted. Some misquotations are still variable, some have settled down to false versions that have obscured the true ones. They have passed over from literature into speech.
Carl Clinton Van Doren
Image
I was often misquoted. I was supportive of my managers, even though they all may not think so.
George Steinbrenner
Image
My position on the POW issue has been widely misquoted and taken out of context. What I originally said and have continued to say is that the POW's are lying if they assert it was North Vietnamese policy to torture American Prisoners.
Jane Fonda
Image
The only thing worse than being misquoted is being sentenced to two years' hard labour for buggery
Oscar Wilde
Image
Practice is everything. This is often misquoted as Practice makes perfect.
Periander
Image
Bobby is the most misunderstood, misquoted celebrity walking the face of this earth
Yasser Seirawan
Image
No more misquoted forms, lost invoices, redundant entries, missing checks, or delays caused by incomplete paperwork.
Bill Gates
Image
Silence can never be misquoted.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
I'm the most misunderstood, misquoted person I know, honestly.
Dusty Springfield
Image
An author should be delighted, not annoyed when he hears himself persistently misquoted. He could receive no higher compliment. It proves that the world has frequent and urgent need of his thoughts and will rather change the manner in which he expresses them than do without the things expressed.
Hesketh Pearson
Image
I've been misquoted a lot, and there's this tendency for people to put on to you how they think you should be or what they think you should feel.
Maura Tierney
Image
I had this perverse gravitation towards using a terrible cliché sandwiched in between absurd non-clichés because I thought it gave the cliché a new resonance. It kills me when my lyrics are misquoted, but as long as people are quoting them right, I don't care what anybody has to say about them.
Paul Banks
Image
I've heard it quoted that I was dead. You can't believe anything you read. That was just an off-hand remark somebody picked up, and now it's been quoted and quoted, and therefore misquoted.
Tom Lehrer
Image
Now, I'm not going to be misquoted on this like I have numerous times before, so I'll be quite clear. I've never said hitler was my hero, just that if he had focused on more than one race he would have had the right idea. Try to turn that one against me.
Zach Braff
