They did not say this. Groundings of celebrities: True and fiction. O’Tul G.

The author of the book Garzon O'Tul is a journalist, creator of the popular site QUOTE Investigator. And the main question is as follows: are there really to outstanding people whose quotes are so widely distributed both in print media and on the Internet, belong to certain sayings? And the answer is most often negative.

Garson O'Tul analyzes the common quotes attributed to celebrities - from Abraham Lincoln to Anton Chekhov, from Aristotle to Woody Allen. Trying to find their primary sources and understand what the confusion arose, what are the causes of false quotes and aphorisms. He calls them “error mechanisms” and explains in detail where, when and why a misunderstanding arose.
