Quotes from interviews, books and pop culture?

May 6, 2021 9:58 PM

A while ago, there was a site called Quotenik (that has since stopped updating) that featured short thoughtful quotes from interviews, books, articles. It was great! Help me find something like that...

I used to collect quotes I like from all sorts of places--books, articles, sites, etc. and I'd like to start up again. A lot of them came from a site called Quotenik that has since stopped updating. Brain Pickings has been another great one. What other sites might I find thought-provoking short quotes, bits from interviews, segments from novels or other books, philosophy, religion, pop culture, children's books that are not from the usual "inspirational" quotes sites?

This has also stopped updating, but you can go through what's there: but does it float

The site couples an image series with a short quote used as a title for the images. The source of the quote is stated at the end of each post.

I feel like you might also come across things you want on Open Culture, although maybe not ready-made quotes.

Another idea would be to search for things like "literary quotes" on Pinterest.

Quote Garden is my go-to. It's a little old-fashioned but still good for perusing, especially, if you have a topic in mind.
