FYI I'm in Australia so laws will probably differ to that in America.

I'm curious however as there are heaps of great typographical designs of quotes...but is it illegal to make profits off your design selling them as prints etc? Or would it be ok to add the author's name as part of the design?

: Is it better to create icons using low-resolution displays? My understanding is that pixels are an abstract unit of measurement. They have no tangible size until rendered on a display (or paper).

This would be a question best asked to a lawyer..

I would check to see who owns the copyright. If the copyrighted quote is still current ask for rights. That said they might (copyright owner) request you to add the author, pay some commission on the sales, buy a timed limit usage or an X amount of prints that they will allow for a given time frame. You could always check to see if the copyright expired and if its up for fair use but again, consult a lawyer in your area.

Might help for you to check copyright.gov or in your case Australian Copyright Council
