About FixQuotes
Who We Are
We are a dedicated team of Norwegians who launched FixQuotes in 2012 with a simple idea: pair timeless wisdom with modern storytelling. Over the years we’ve grown from a quote database into a studio that researches authors, writes biographies, restores photography, curates quote collections, and produces short-form quote videos designed for today’s social platforms.
Our slogan still guides every release: "Unleash the wisdom where quotes come to life and author biographies add depth to inspiration."
Explore Our Quote Collections
- Browse quotes by topic, author, nationality, and more - then save favorites to your shortlist.
- Explore people with readable biographies and enhanced photographs.
- Read Guides (practical how-to articles) and Quote Articles (curated quote collections by theme).
- Start each day with our Quote of the Day - and browse the archive anytime.
Why Choose FixQuotes?
Plenty of sites list quotes; we choreograph the whole experience. That means handcrafted imagery sized for every device, fact-checked biographies, daily curation, and carefully produced, human-reviewed video storytelling. The result is a catalog that feels alive whether you're browsing on desktop, mobile, or social feeds.
Our Commitments
To ensure the best possible experience, we are dedicated to:
- Continuously updating our quote database with fresh insights from influential voices.
- Researching and refreshing author biographies so every profile has real context.
- Scanning, restoring, and colorizing historical photography to pair visuals with the words.
- Producing high-quality quote videos that bring motion, sound, and subtitles to our most-loved lines.
Our Business Model
FixQuotes is a passion project, operating as a non-profit and completely ad-free experience. We believe wisdom should be accessible without distraction.
We do not sell user data or run display advertising. To help offset a fraction of our server costs, we participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. If you click a "View all works" link on a book page and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This is our only source of revenue.
Quote Videos & Visual Storytelling
Today we host 59 fully produced quote videos, each with text overlays, narration-safe music beds, and responsive thumbnails. They appear on author pages, quote detail pages, social feeds, and even in our dedicated video sitemap so Google can showcase them in video results.
If you are a publisher, teacher, or creator, you're welcome to embed the MP4 versions directly from the quote detail pages. Each video comes with a downloadable portrait thumbnail (660x1200) and clear metadata for attribution.
