Didn't say it...
Quote erroneously attributed to Angelou and used on a U.S. postage stamp.
When Yogi Berra died last month, numerous outlets chose to honor him by publishing his most famous Yogi-isms, Kali Holloway reports on salon.com.
The problem is, some of his most popular sayings (“Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded,” “It’s deja vu all over again,” “The future isn’t what it used to be”) probably weren’t actually uttered by Yogi Berra, Holloway wrote.
You may or may not be convinced about some of Holloway's conclusions in what follows, but she certainly seems to have done her homework.
For her fascinating article with more famous misquotes, including those for Freud, Mark Twain, Sarah Palin, Voltaire, Marilyn Monroe, Einstein and others: http://www.salon.com/2015/10/14/freud_never_said_that_19_of_historys_most_famous_misquotes_partner/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=socialflow
