Why do we like quotes so much? Typically short but mind provoking, quotes are like little pieces of distilled wisdom that make us think, amuse us or inspire—always leaving an impression.
“They cut to the heart of the matter. They put things into perspective, teach us something new—or challenge our ways of thinking. And sometimes quotes are the harbingers of change; they encapsulate wisdom that jolts us into action..”
Some people can formulate ideas and express them precisely and concisely. Most of us lack this skill, but love to be stimulated and even challenged by a clever, accurate observation or thought. A daily fix of an ‘inspirational quote’ is not by any means a fatuous habit—the writers, explorers, poets we quote all have used or have been inspired by quotes of other writers.
But quotes and sayings carry much more than just meaning—they carry human experiences. We often we stumble across a bundle of words that gives us an a powerful insight into what the author must have gone through to reach that particular moment of wisdom.
