Hey everyone,
I am considering using quotations at the beginning/end of chapters in a book. Is using quotes, as many books do, considered free and ok because they are in the public domain, or does one need to get permission first from each source?
For instance, if I wanted to use a quote from Erma Bombeck on parenthood or from Jerry Seinfeld on Grapenuts, or from George Washington on cybersex?
Thanks!
