    The Web is full of #quotes. Programmers designed t The Web is full of #quotes. Programmers designed the Internet to interconnect ideas and their #sources better. Hyperlinks, search results, and #memes are all forms of quotation. Many quotes are misattributed or incorrect but are also more easily investigated and exposed online. Wikiquote is as essential as Wikipedia. The endlessly quotable Ralph Waldo Emerson once admitted he “hated” quotes in his journal but regularly praised them too. Like writing, quotation can #default to what is easy or work to find and share fresh insight. Asking for a favorite quote pushes people into the spotlight; it’s the same as asking how often they open a book. We all have answers though, even those of us who can neither read nor write. A mother’s maxim, a Springsteen #lyric, that one verse we had to rehearse, a favorite movie line, and yes, even a politician’s refrain, can all find residence in our heads through the lesson of repetition or the spark of #recognition. Actions may speak louder than words, but actions without words behind them are chaos. Sentences underlie more of our behavior than we realize and give us the power to progress and create when used well. The first step is identifying the words you recall. You cannot write until you’ve #read. Sit for a moment and #transcribe the jokes and songs and #passages from shows and speeches and novels that come to mind. The #words may mean more than you anticipate. The task may take longer than you have.

    “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the #past.” The #epitaph carved on Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald’s grave is the last sentence of “The Great Gatsby.” Whenever I come across the #line, I have to go back and reread that entire last page, which always reaffirms the book’s significance. It’s an #elegy for much more than the author. When I ask students for favorite quotes, #verses, punchlines, and lyrics during #Tweetweek, I want to stress the impact creative writing and word choices have on our lives. The ideas that outlast us are arguably our greatest contributions to one another. Nothing has more hope for longevity than the #phrases, passages, and narratives we put into practice and pass down successfully to the next generation. They are all epitaphs. They are #hyperlinks to lives lived, theses developed, actions taken, and creations that persevere—in spite of the ceaseless current. #word #prose #quotation #excerpt #invitation #thesis #novel #life #experience #knowledge #writing #communication #web #workshop #ivshop #506iv Photo: Wikimedia Commons

    “His choices on Star Wars were a combination of the unfamiliar and the handmade to create a cosmos that looked both other-worldly and lived-in.” My annual post on the most interactive film of all time. #StarWars #Maythe4th
