favorite quotes
This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.
favorite quotes is a feature on some personal sites (often a footer quote on a homepage) and some silo profiles (like Facebook), where people add quotes that resonate particularly strongly or are sufficiently self-describing as to be part of their self-description or bio.

We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not a thing…I am a person who does things…and I never know what I'm going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun. — Stephen Fry

"Those who cannot feel the littleness of great things in themselves are apt to overlook the greatness of little things in others." from The Book of Tea by Kakuzo Okakura
Silo Examples
Facebook profiles have a "FAVORITE QUOTES" feature as the last item in the "Details About You" tab in your own profile, or "Details About ((given-name))" when viewing someone else's profile, and it can have its own access limits (like friends-only). E.g.
- https://www.facebook.com/tantek.celik/about?section=bio (shows "Favorite Quotes" to "[Facebook] friends only").
