You Can Quote Me On That

Recently, my fascination with Cyberdunk has led to my exploration of the author's other site, Focusdep.com. To my surprise, I found the site had nothing to do at all with online games, but everything to do with famous people and famous quotes.

As a writer, I found that this website was actually a useful resource for building an added dimension to my articles. The extensive lists of quotes include not only famous politicians, writers, composers and national heroes (including Jose Rizal, btw) but also contemporary actors (like Nicole Richie) and musicians (my fave being Al Yankovic or "Weird Al" as most people know him.)

It's convenient as it delivers their most famous quotes quickly and painlessly through a very user-friendly search engine. I've noticed, however, that most of their biographies and photos are still empty which might be a concern for researchers hoping to take a closer glimpse into their lives. Still, this can be easily remedied with a trip to wikipedia.

All in all,
Focusdep.com is an excellent resource for quotes. If you're a writer or an aspiring writer who wants to add some credibility or even just a splash of color to your work, you will find the site an excellent resource. From classic to contemporary, you'll have quotes aplenty at your fingertips.
