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?
