Great Quotes



Quotes. Why are they so popular? What is it about quotes that humans are so attracted to? Quotes preface chapters in books. They are painted on the walls of our schools. We frame them and hang them in our homes. We send them to each other in cards and letters. They grace the halls of our work areas and are etched into our headstones when we die. Why do people like quotes?

The best answer to this question was awarded to Alema Pequoia who said, "Because they precisely and definitively express what we know, recognize, feel, believe, think, accept, imagine, hope, fear, desire, acknowledge, and/or have experienced. It is a recognizable life truth."

What are quotes anyway? How can the simple organization of a few words have such impact? A recent tour of the Library of Congress revealed numerous quotes from the great books of all time written over the windows and doors of the upper floor. It was a pleasure to read all the quotes so carefully placed. Certainly, quotes have been enjoyed for a very long time. Could it be that words resonate with a specific vibrational frequency? Is it possible that the combination of words carries an impact far beyond the individual words themselves? Is there an electrical frequency created from the combination of words that reaches out and connects to our brains actually resonating with our very being? It is true that quotes mean different things to different people. Perhaps our very beings are affected in some way by the combinations of words we call quotes.
