Quote hunting help

Post by Jack3 »

'Suppose you read in the newspapers that your enemy did something wrong. Then you read a correction later, that it wasn't him. How would this make you feel?"

Not the exact words but the meaning is the same. I think it was by CS Lewis.
Does anyone know where it is from?

You can't trust goodreads--it has lots of fake "quotes"--but this one is authentic.

I usually use Quote Investigator. Are there any others that you use?

Fauxtations?

QI is helpful, if they've covered it. Wikiquote is also helpful.
