"Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words."
-- Roy T. Bennett in The Light of the Heart
REFERENCE LIST CITATION TIP - WORK IN A COLLECTION:
Bartlett's is a comprehensive web archive that is based on the print edition of Bartlett's book.
In this situation, you have both an "author" (the person quoted) and an editor or composer because Bartlett is responsible for collecting the quotations. In addition, yet another editor stepped in after Bartlett to revise and expand the original work.
This Reference list citation would attribute the author/person quoted as well as the original and subsequent editors, so the Ref list citation would look something like this:
Alcott, L.M. (1899). J. Bartlett, comp. Familiar quotations
(10th ed.). Rev. and enl.by N.H. Dole. Boston: Little,
Brown, 1919. Bartleby.com, 2000. https://www.bartleby.com
/lit-hub/familiar-quotations/
