I'm writing a new story, and would like to use a Latin quote from "Small Gods", i.e. "cuius testiculos habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum" (loosely translated as "When you have their full attention in your grasp, their hearts and minds will follow.")
I found out that this Latin quote is much older than "Small Gods". In fact, it's a quote attributed by Hunter S. Thompson to Charles Colson, a counsel for Richard Nixon. So I don't think there are any copyright issues.
What do you think?
