I can't find it in a literature book.
Internet searches only bring up quotes with the word "disembodied"
Also, it may be the same thing as a Ghost Quotation.
(So, what's a Ghost Quotation?)
Thanks in advance!

A Disembodied Quotation is one drawn out of its original context.
A ghost Quotation is one whose speaker is not known.

Disembodied Quotation: Quotations need to be incorporated into your own sentences. They cannot stand alone. A stand-alone quotation is referred to as a "disembodied quotation".
Examples:
Integrated quotation - The questioner had difficulty finding information on disembodied quotations. He wrote, "I can't find it in a literature book." So I tried to help.
Disembodied quotation - The questioner had difficulty finding information on disembodied quotations. "I can't find it in a literature book." So I tried to help.
Ghost quotation? Sorry, no idea.
