Question of the Day: How can I get a copyright to my own quotes and poems that I wrote?

To get a copyright in the U.S., you need an original work of authorship that’s fixed in a tangible medium. You get the copyright the moment your work is created such as on paper or a digital or electronic file.

A poem can be protected by copyright, but a quote might not be if there isn’t enough originality to warrant giving you a copyright.
