Mentioning famous quotes in SOP Post Thu Jan 26, 2012 9:50 am
If i start with a famous quote in an SOP Should i mention the year of the quote or book in which the famous personality has said the particular quote.

Or just mentioning the name of the person is enough.

Good Question!
The person is usually enough, unless there is some added value of naming the source, I don't think you need to put it in.
