I thought about quotes and information in general recently. It's not that we can't put almost all things into words, the problem is in making the information change something. Like one of those retard pills in medication. The active component is just one problem. Making it reach a destination where it's able to unfold the effect is another. People like Tony Robins (or quotes for that matter) don't hold extraordinary wisdom, but they have found a way to make them emotionally relevant for a large group of people (and that's really the important part). That's what makes a guru, quotes, tutorials, etc. successful. Much like those calendar quotes reach another kind of people. Everything's allowed. --- I just bought Austin Kleons trilogy and it's stuffed with quotes. Let me open a random page for you... "How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." - Annie Dillard (in Kleons 'Keep Going') "Share your dots, but don't connect them." - Austin Kleon (in 'Steal Like An Artist') "Whatever we say, we're always talking about ourselves." - Alison Bechdel (in Kleons 'Show Your Work')
