Quote collections, grouped by whose words they are and what they are about. A note on how these are put together: quotes on the internet are misattributed constantly, so where a line is widely circulated but not verifiably from the person it is credited to, the pages say so rather than repeating it.<\/p>\n
Reading fifty quotes produces a pleasant few minutes and very little else. What works better is taking one and staying with it — on a card, as a phone background, written at the top of a page. The mechanism is the same as with affirmations: repetition and visibility, not volume.<\/p>\n
Quotes also make good journal prompts. Rather than agreeing with a line, write about whether it is true in your experience, and where it is not. Disagreeing with something well-phrased tends to clarify what you actually think.<\/p>\n
Quotation is the most unreliable genre on the internet. Lines migrate to whoever sounds most plausible — Einstein, Buddha, Mark Twain and Marilyn Monroe collect an enormous quantity of things they never said, largely because a famous name travels better than an unknown one.<\/p>\n
Where a line here is widely circulated but not verifiably from the person it is credited to, the pages say so rather than repeating the claim. That occasionally makes a collection less quotable and more accurate, which is the right trade. If you are about to put something on a wall or a card, it is worth thirty seconds of checking.<\/p>\n
Quote collections are pleasant to read and almost never change anything, for a structural reason: reading fifty inspiring lines produces a brief lift and no repetition. The mechanism that makes a phrase useful is the same one behind affirmations — familiarity and visibility, so that it is available in the moment you actually need it.<\/p>\n
So take one. Put it somewhere you will see it without choosing to, and leave it there for a week. A single line you have looked at forty times will do more than a page you read once and enjoyed.<\/p>\n
The most productive use of a good quote is disagreement. Rather than nodding at it, write about whether it is true in your experience — where it holds, where it does not, and what it leaves out.<\/p>\n
Aphorisms are compressed to the point of losing their conditions, which is what makes them memorable and also what makes them frequently wrong in a specific case. Arguing with a well-phrased line tends to clarify what you actually think far more efficiently than agreeing with it does.<\/p>\n
