About the work

A closer look.

Send one quote you saw somewhere and half-believe: a line on a poster, a caption, 'famous last words', something a friend forwarded. I trace it to the earliest source I can reach and tell you what the record actually shows. You get back a short plain read: where it first appears, who really said it, whether the attribution holds or it is a misattribution, and the link for each line, so you can check me back. Plain words for this: who said this quote, is this quote real, check a quote, verify a quote, quote check, quote attribution, misattributed quote, who actually said it. If the source cannot settle it, I say so before you pay and you pay nothing. One quote per order, three days, one revision. Every line carries its source.
