Yes, you need permission to quote a living or recently dead person. Your words and sayings belong to you, and printing them without permission is plagiarism.
If you use a quote which is old enough, though, you don't need permission. Quoting Shakespeare or The Bible are two examples which don't need permission.
What else can I help you with?
Do you need permission to use a quote from Eisenhower in your book?
Yes! Any time you use anybody else's work, you need to cite it, and occasionally ask permission from the person you would like to take the quote or idea from to use in your book (although it would be impossible to get it from Eisenhower himself). If it's a school book that you plan to use for class and not to publish, you can cite the quote off a website/book or simply say, "As Eisenhower would say..."; otherwise, if you plan to publish it, I would talk to your publicist for additional information, because this little thing can turn into a legal issue.

How do you get a Disney copyright permission to quote 2 lines from a film?
To request copyright permission for a Disney property, write to the Permissions Department at the Disney organization. However, there is a 'fair use' doctrine in copyright that permits a limited amount of use without permission. While it is not precisely defined, this is the provision that allows a writer to quote a few lines from a book or movie in a review without seeking permission. Two lines from a film may well be 'fair use' and quoting such a small part of the work would not then require permission of the copyright holder.

Will Rogers Quote- Is it necessary to have copyright permission for the use of I never met a man I didn't like?
Yes, it is necessary to have copyright permission to use the quote "I never met a man I didn't like" if it is still under copyright protection. While short phrases and quotes may sometimes be considered fair use, the context of their use matters. If the quote is used in a commercial context or as part of a larger work, seeking permission is advisable to avoid potential copyright infringement. Always consult a legal expert for specific situations.
