About the Author

Introduction

I enjoy quotes. They encompass complex concepts in compact statements. Sometimes, it is not easy to find quotes that fit on Twitter so I've made an effort to find as many as I can. These quotes will fit inside of Twitter's 140-character limit: quote symbols, the phrase and the contributor - it all fits.

I often post the quotes I collect; I love to share them. When I share a quote, there is no theme that I follow, it's always random and readers of my posts never know what to expect. I have chosen the same randomness / assortment angle in this book. Surprise can be a good thing.

I like the words - I don't care where they came from; I have no agenda. I study ideas from any source.

If you like or hate the words - research. The person credited with the quote is cited, so look them up. Study the context in which they use the quote and look over their other work as well. Then decide to embrace or reject.

Propagate the words. Here, they are bite sized with purpose, but you can add to them on a personal level; make them yours.

Of course, you could just kick back and enjoy these quotes as they are.
