Quotologists encounter happy surprises, bright books by faded authors, treasures hidden under dust.
Quotations calcify into clichés.
Quotation lovers love rare words.

Misquotation is quotology’s swamp. Amateur quoters mix and mangle Shakespeare and Scripture. Professors gaffe and printers bungle. It’s a mess we must wade into.
Flattery works like a drug.
