The Unquotables: Tumblr Collects History's Lost Words Of Wisdom (PICTURES)

PICTURES: 9 Famous Quotes You Didn't Learn In School

"Give me liberty or give me death." "There's nothing to fear but fear itself." "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."

Classic quotes like these may be timeless, but that doesn't mean they can't be boring. If you're sick of reading the same old famous quotes online, you might like The Unquotables, a Tumblr from comedians Dan Wilbur and Robert Dean, that compiles all the quotes you definitely didn't learn in school.

Every weekday a new "unquote" will be posted that the "liberal history books" won't tell you, as the website explains. Check out our 9 favorite ones so far in the slideshow below, visit the site for the rest and email Dan and and Robert if you think of one yourself!
