Mission Statement

History
I have always loved collecting quotes to inspire and motivate myself.  I write them on pieces of paper and display a different one on my desk every day.  Unfortunately, over the years I have discovered that a lot of my favorites are paraphrased or attributed to the wrong person.  I have also realized that this problem is extremely widespread and that misquotes appear everywhere from quote websites, quote apps, quote paraphernalia and even quote books.  At first I just complained about it incessantly to anyone who would listen (those poor people!).  But then I decided to do something about it, so I am writing a book that will contain nothing but authenticated quotes, and I have created this website to promote awareness of what I call the “quote virus.”  I use this term because once a misquote appears on one website or in one book, it quickly spreads and multiplies like a virus infecting both cyber space and written literature.  I am now on a mission, and that is as follows.

Mission
1) To eradicate the “quote virus” being the widespread infection of inaccurate quotes throughout cyber space and modern literature.
2) To establish a new standard in quoting in which the correct author/orator and source are always cited.
3) To educate, entertain, and inspire.
