Hemingway Didn't Say That: The Truth Behind Familiar Quotations by Garson O'Toole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Selected from the archives of the Quote Investigator blog, a trenchant analysis of the many "quotations" Everybody Knows, which are spurious. Both this and the blog are indispensable for netizens, along with that other work by Paul F. Boller and John George, They Never Said It: A Book of Fake Quotes, Misquotes, and Misleading Attributions

Most writers regard the truth as their most valuable possession, and therefore are economical in its use.
