Finding the Right Quote
Need wisdom or wit? Consider:
- What tone—serious, uplifting, or humorous—do you want?
- Should the quote be short and punchy or more elaborate?
- Which themes—love, courage, or creativity—resonate?
- Do you need attribution or is an anonymous quote fine?
- Will it suit social media, writing prompts, or speeches?
