Does anyone know of a good website that lists good or famous quotes?

Question

and their authors? I'm wanting to use them for dictation or copying in our home school.

Answer 1

Definitely Bartlett's Quotations, they have a searchable database of quotes, with the sources listed. Go to:

Also check out the copywork link here:

Answer 5

WriteShop has a book of copywork/dictation passages, but it only has 16 passages.  They also have a list of other websites that have copywork/dictation passages (linked below).

Personally, I just use a passage from whatever we happen to be reading at the time.  If we're reading _Charlotte's Web_, I'll pick a paragraph from the chapter we just finished.  If it's _A Tale of Two Cities_, same thing.  The great thing about this is, their copywork/dictation grows along with their reading ability.
