Authors of Quote: Difference between revisions

You've probably encountered these authors. They are the ones whose sayings adorn the inside pages of books, who appear on t-shirts, whose appearance is almost guaranteed on any [[Quote Overdosed]] page or series that makes use of [[Epigraph|Epigraphs]]. They will have the largest section on [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]], in fact [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]] will form their best known quotes for a lie can travel halfway round the world while the truth is putting on its shoes ([[Mark Twain]]). Somehow these authors have managed to be inherently quotable. Their words tug on the imagination, perhaps more than they do on fact but hey, imagination is more important than knowledge ([[Useful Notes/Albert Einstein|Albert Einstein]]). They also tend to be people to look up to for their intellect; people want to seem witty not just for saying something witty but also for saying something said by someone witty even though a witty saying proves nothing ([[Voltaire (Creatorcreator)|Voltaire]]). There is also the fact that people depend on [[Small Reference Pools]] so once someone gets into the popular consciouness, they will circle around it for infinity.

* [[Voltaire (Creatorcreator)|Voltaire]] whose writings inspired countless writers and were used in [[The French Revolution|two]] [[The American Revolution|revolutions]]. Look him up, he is a source of endless fun quotables.
