In a hurry? Just skip the introduction and scroll down to So, what brings you here!
Fed up with vast, cumbersome databases of cites? Where you either get too many results or none at all? Well, our high quality, thematically selected choice of mottos, thoughts, passages, and proverbs has definitely no intention of competing with them. It is not an ocean, but rather a crystal lake.
A concise, StriQTly SeleQTed™ counterpart to those mega sites, it conforms to the golden rule: if you have just painfully searched your way through to our site, you probably have no wish to be presented with - yet another search button, do you? Say you need a good quote for someone's birthday. Most people would do the mistake of visiting a site about quotations and then simply searching for the word birthday! It would get them some quotes containing the word birthday, to be sure: the most insipid and commonplace ones. Now, be honest... is another boring, worn-out quotation on age/aging/birthday really what you want to come up with? Would you settle for it if it was your birthday?
If, on the other hand, you take the trouble to browse our categories (see menu on the left), they'll get you thinking out of the box, thinking about the celebrant's interests; or virtues; or maybe achievements; or motives; or character; or-- ! Now doesn't that sound far more promising? Doesn't that help you avoid staleness? That's why our online archive is purposely designed so as not to be hastily searched through and abandoned as soon as some passable citation is found; on the contrary, it's meant to be read at leisure, topic after topic, subject after subject, quote after quote, and then revisited. Preferably day after day.
Yes, you guessed right. You finally found the choice resource for quotations aficionados, made by quotations aficionados. Wade through it; it is a lake of pearls.
