How to cite quotes?

Say if i were to quote the famous George Sheehan “Success means having the courage, the determination, aand the will to become the person you beleive you were meant to be.” My assignment is not to use internet sources yet i found this great quote on the internet. Do i need to cite it? Can i find it in a book? I don’t know if he said it in a book or just said it. How do i cite this or do i even have to? I asked my teacher and he said to ask in class. 🙁 HELP! I’m confused.

Yes, you can find it in a book.

Go to a library and type up his name or look for a book full of quotes. Borders has a billion of them.

You have several questions

* how to cite quotes

* how to find sources not on Internet, when many real world sources might exist both on Internet and in real world

* how to ask in class other than from teacher

I can’t figure out the last one.

When citing sources, you need to

* make it obvious what text is from the source and what is from you

example: QUOTE How to cite quotes? UNQUOTE

example: You asked “How to cite quotes?”

* identify the person and/or publication where you got the quote

* identify the circumstances of the quote … was it part of a speech, an interview, in a book

* if from a publication or printed source … identify the publication, publisher, date of publication, maybe chapter page #

* if from an Internet source … give url, plus name of organization that has that url

How to find sources outside the Internet, with or without the Internet’s help.

You need to learn how to use the resources of a public library … you do know what a public library is don’t you? you do know how to find them in your home town? Your school may also have a school library.

You need to learn how to use an Internet search engine … go to any one of them & key in “search engine” which will get you to other search engines and to internet sites about how to use them

You need to learn how to find and use reference materials … some at library, on Internet, but they can be found other places
