Wikiquote is a free compendium of quotations that is being written collaboratively by the readers. The site is a WikiWiki, meaning that anyone, including you, can edit any entry right now by clicking on the edit this page link that appears in every Wikiquote entry. The project was started on June 27, 2003 and there are 16,372 articles in English that are being worked on with many more entries pending in other languages. Every day many contributors from around the world make hundreds of edits and create lots of new articles.
