About
Our Vetting Process
1. Find the Source
We check every quote for authenticity, referenceability, and context. No quote is published without being checked!
2. Determine Relevance
We won’t just publish anything anyone says. We choose our quotes in the collection based on the state of sociopolitical, geological, scientific, technological, and cultural relevance.
3. Publish and Share
Once we’ve vetted a quote, we add it to the collection here for your reference and use, free of charge.
Not Just American; Worldwide
We have made it our mission to represent not just one culture, but all cultures in our cataloging and archiving of quotes from notable figures and times throughout history.
