Book Description
Interviewer: Why do you love quotes? Author: Everybody loves quotes don't they? Words are what we use to think and the best quotes are the most effective way to express those thoughts. Interviewer: Are these quotes any use? Author: They have lots of uses. They can order our thoughts expressing an idea that we haven't managed to put into words before. They can be used in conversation or communications to succinctly express what you are trying to say. People often use them in speeches to provide amusement and to get across the point they are trying to make more effectively. People also use quotes to provide inspiration or motivate them to do a task which they are finding difficult. If you can capture why you are doing something in a single phrase then it can help you give purpose to what you are doing. In addition there is the personal kudos of providing succinct wisdom if you can find the right time to use them. People may not mistake you for Albert Einstein or Oscar Wilde but some of the magic dust will rub off. Interviewer: How do you pick quotes? Author: There are plenty to choose from. People are saying things all the time, some more memorably than others. Often I see quote books that are little more than a collection of words. When I am going through quotes I will often get one that zings and really resonates. It could be funny, it could be inspirational, it could be anything but what it has done is express something in a way that stops you and makes you think. That is what I have tried to collect in The Big Book of Quotes. I hope that some will resonate with the readers.
