Quotations
Bogart is credited with five of the American Film Institute's top 100 quotations in American cinema, the most by any actor:
- 5th: "Here's looking at you, kid" – Casablanca
- 14th: "The stuff that dreams are made of." – The Maltese Falcon
- 20th: "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." – Casablanca
- 43rd: "We'll always have Paris." – Casablanca
- 67th: "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine." – Casablanca
Bogart is also credited with one of the top movie misquotations. In Casablanca, neither he (nor anyone else) ever said, "Play it again, Sam," although that "quote" is widely credited to him, and is the title of the Woody Allen tribute movie. When Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), his former love, first enters the Café Americain, she spots Sam, the piano player (Dooley Wilson) and asks him to "Play it once, Sam, for old times' sake." When he feigns ignorance, she responds, "Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By.'" Later that night, alone with Sam, Rick says, "You played it for her and you can play it for me," and "If she can stand it, I can! Play it!"

Famous quotes containing the word quotations:
“A book that furnishes no quotations is, me judice, no book—it is a plaything.”
—Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)
“Reading any collection of a man’s quotations is like eating the ingredients that go into a stew instead of cooking them together in the pot. You eat all the carrots, then all the potatoes, then the meat. You won’t go away hungry, but it’s not quite satisfying. Only a biography, or autobiography, gives you the hot meal.”
—Christopher Buckley, U.S. author. A review of three books of quotations from Newt Gingrich. “Newtie’s Greatest Hits,” The New York Times Book Review (March 12, 1995)
