## Description

VosCitations is a French-language reference resource for quotations from philosophy and literature, focused on tracing each passage to its source and clarifying its context. Entries provide details such as the work, chapter or act, and publication date where available, while doubtful or false attributions are identified rather than repeated as fact. The site examines familiar sayings commonly miscredited to figures including Voltaire, Gandhi, Marie-Antoinette, Sherlock Holmes, Machiavelli, and Sartre, explaining how some were adapted, misattributed, or taken out of context. It also offers a five-step method for checking quotations: locate the original work, search for the exact wording, test for anachronisms, compare translations, and read the surrounding passage. For students, VosCitations explains how to use quotations in essays—as material to analyze, not as a substitute for argument—and provides guidance on accurate wording, references, and presentation. The resource also outlines the French legal framework for short quotations, including requirements to identify the author and source and to keep excerpts brief.
