> Popular movie quotes or lines from books with minor iterations are bad choices. They are somewhere out there and not as safe as one might think. In English.

  > Not all books in all languages ever published are "somewhere out there". I mean, they mostly are or can be. What's the point on relying on "nobody happened to catalog the book I copied my passphrase from"? Are you going to check every week that nobody uploaded it to an archive site? There's easier schemes that don't rely on that.

    For smaller languages the steps would be: - Somebody would have to digitize an old book without mistakes. - Somebody would have to publish it online. - Somebody would have to scrape and archive that. - Somebody would have to transliterate it to Latin script. - That transliteration would also have be the same transliteration I'm using. It's unlikely it will be done for a lot of languages. > There's easier schemes that don't rely on that. Remembering random words is hard. This is how we got into this in the first place.

      > Remembering random words is hard. This is how we got into this in the first place. It's really not. You just make a story out of it. My memory is quite crap, I'm still able to remember the ~3 passphrases I actually need, and I'm able to rotate them as required.
