HOW TO CITE FAMOUS QUOTES IN APA

In APA format, citations for famous quotes should include the following elements:

Author’s Name: Start with the last name, followed by a comma, and then the initials of the author’s first and middle names (if available). If the author is not known, use the title of the work or the name of the organization responsible.

Year: Enclose the year of publication in parentheses immediately after the author’s name. If the work does not have a specific publication date, use “n.d.” to indicate “no date.”

Title of the Work: Include the title of the specific work in sentence case, followed by a period. If the quote is from a larger work (such as a book or article), italicize the title. If it is from a smaller work (such as a poem or short story), use quotation marks.

Page Number: If available, include the page number where the quote can be found. Use “p.” for a single page or “pp.” for multiple pages.
