Publisher's Synopsis
Gandhi once said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." For years, people have lived their lives in accordance with this bit of advice. It is repeated in commencement speeches, self-help books, and State of the Union addresses. These 10 words have helped shape the course of human history. There is just one problem: Gandhi never said it! The Little Book of Misquotations profiles the most significant misquotes of all time, from what we think was said to what was actually said. From the legendary Neil Armstrong to the fictional Forrest Gump, more than 200 of the best lines throughout history have been skewed through years of inaccurate memes, bad yearbook quotes and misinformed speakers; it is about time we got them right!
