quote-db

Human-coined open repository of quotes from the 21st century

What is this?

A personal collection of quotes collected from various sources, intended to be used in fortune-like programs.

Why?

1 There's already lost of fortunes on the internet, but many of them come from before the 90s and/or rely on copyrighted material (quotes from songs, series, etc.)

2 The explosion of social media has opened the doors for many individuals to publish lots of observations, aphorisms and other funny, witty or insightful words.

3 Some of these are worthy of being collected for... science.

Inclusion cirteria

Please note that these are guidelines, not rules. Also, there is not and most likely there won't be any kind of profanity filter.

The quotes must:

  1. Have been coined in the 21st Century (so adaptations or rephrasings are not preferred)
  2. Have been uttered/coined by individuals in personal capacity (so no quotes from series, music or similar materials)
  3. Contain no hate speech
  4. Be sourced with a username and platform (no links needed)

Why is there a Northernlion-only database

This project started because the excellent Northernlion Quote Database is not very open to the public except for the browser interface. I started collecting a few quotes by myself and ended up with a separate file for this witty Canadian.

Contribution guidelines

(Will write later. For now, be excellent to each other)
