How this site works

Verified means we found the line in a source we can point to. Unverified means we have not yet.

Most quotes on QuoteGeek are unverified today. That is an honest starting point, not a hidden one: checking every line in an eleven-thousand-quote archive against a real source takes time, and we would rather ship the archive and label it plainly than hold it back until everything is checked. Verification is best-effort and ongoing -- when we have confirmed a quote, we mark it and, where we have one, we show the source next to it.

A quote's status is not a judgment on whether it was really said -- an unverified quote may well be accurate. It only tells you whether we have found and can point to a source for it yet.

If you know of a source we should be citing, think a quote is wrong, or want something taken down or handled under data protection rules, use the corrections form. We aim to act within 72 hours.
