Publisher Description
The Only-Sometimes-Inspirational Quote Book gathers into a single resource a compulsive reader's notes collected in notebooks over the years. It is curated to dispense knowledge, wisdom, a bit of humor, and some uncomfortable truths. The quotes originate from many sources: some well-known, many not, and a few unpleasant and definitely not inspirational. But, each will make you think, or reconsider things we all take for granted, or even discover some deep context about our world.
A small anthology of all things interesting, The Only-Sometimes-Inspirational Quote Book will make a great gift for anyone, especially those who answer "yes" to any of these questions:
Have you ever found yourself arguing with a magazine's false advertising after reading all of the small print?
Have you read a significant portion of that novel that no one else can get through?
Did you ever spend a bit too long in the bar bathroom because you needed to read all the Sharpie writings on the walls? (or to write your own?)
Do you find yourself paying attention to what the lady who feeds the pigeons in the park says when she's spreading the crumbs?
Can you imagine yourself going down rabbit holes trying to find out what Cleopatra used in her baths? Or who Picasso painted? Or what Mao thought about at 24?
Do you have people in your life susceptible to these behaviors?
