Yesterday’s XKCD web comic by Randall Munroe was titled Memorable Quotes. One of his 16 is illustrated above. Elsewhere there also is an explanation. Three other quotes are:
“Oooh, look at me, I looked up a quote!”
“I don’t do a lot of public speaking, so I looked up a
memorable quote to start my speech, and this is what I found. OK, you’re
staring at me. Blankly but this whole thing is a quote. I know that sounds
confusing, but…you know what, never mind.”
“This quote will be the only part of this presentation you
remember.”
The July 2016 issue of Toastmaster magazine had a more
serious article by John Zimmer on The Do’s and Don’ts of Using Quotes.
