For Android
Quotes 2044 for Android
A hand-picked collection of more than fourteen hundred quotations, one at a time, read aloud if you want it to be. On your phone, your tablet and your home screen.
On iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch? The App Store edition is the same collection, built for Apple devices.
What it does on Android
-
01
One tap, one quote
No feed, no infinite scroll, no algorithm deciding what you see next.
-
02
Read aloud
Any quote can be spoken with a voice already installed on your phone, at the pace you choose. Music you are playing dips while it speaks and comes straight back.
-
03
Hand-picked
Over fourteen hundred quotations, chosen rather than scraped. Attribution is best-effort and corrections are welcome.
-
04
Quote of the hour
A home-screen widget with a new quote every hour, and another whenever you tap it.
-
05
Copy and share
Copy puts a quote and its author on your clipboard; Share hands it to any app you choose. The app never reads your clipboard.

When you open the app it asks Google Play whether a newer version is available, and now and then it asks Google Play to show its own rating card. What Google collects for each is set out in section 7 of the privacy policy; the app itself collects nothing.
Attribution is best-effort
Famous quotations are famously misattributed, passed between books, posters and the internet until the wrong name sticks harder than the right one. We correct errors when we learn of them and would be glad to hear about one. If a quotation matters — for a speech, an essay, a tattoo — check it against a primary source first.
The words are other people's
The quotations belong to whoever said or wrote them. The selection, arrangement and presentation are ours.
