About famous quotes

Famous quotes

Famous quotes have been used by people since the beginning of recorded history to help add credibility and impact to a message being delivered by an author or orator. The effective use of quotations adds to the power of arguments and provides another layer of interest. Famous quotes can inspire and motivate us to think differently about our lives.

Most situations that occur to us have happened to someone else and it can be helpful to get insight from another person as to how they felt and dealt with the same situation. This is what makes quotes interesting. It helps even more when that person is someone that we have heard of and can identify with. Surrounding a few simple words with quotation marks causes us to stop and evaluate these words and the key thought behind them more fully.

In many ways one can consider that there is a continuum between famous quotes, sayings, proverbs, poetry, song lyrics and prose. Sayings and proverbs could be described as unattributed quotes. Poetry in many cases has a markedly different feel because of its deliberate meter, i.e. rhythm, in its structure. However poetry and lyrics are often used in the same way as quotes to emphasise a particular statement.

Great use has been made of famous quotes in the advertising, marketing and training industries over the years. Who hasn’t been bombarded by motivational quotes in workplace training materials for example. The increased use and consumption of soundbites by the media industry is another way in which we are all bombarded by famous quotes in our everyday lives whether political quotes, business quotes, science quotes, funny quotes, film quotes, educational quotes, romantic quotes or whatever.

Beyond anything else some people simply love quotes, sayings and proverbs for the beauty of the words themselves. An occasional bit of Chaucer or Shakespeare adds colour to modern conversations.
