The project's objective is to collaboratively produce a vast reference of quotations from prominent people, books, films, proverbs, etc. and writings about them. The website aims to be as accurate as possible regarding the provenance and sourcing of the quotations.
Initially, the project operated only in English from July 2003, expanding to include other languages in July 2004. As of September 2026, there are active Wikiquote sites for 77 languages comprising a total of 383,628 articles and 2,831 recently active editors.
