Florilegium
A collection and selection of English, German, and French quotes on various topics, but mostly belles-lettres, literature, poetry, etc. Quotation obviously doesn’t imply agreement.
Only quotes from works that are in the public domain are included. This unfortunately means that quotes from new and contemporary works are missing, but there are a lot of classical quotes instead.
There’s also a search page for this collection. Alternatively, you can display a random quote.
