Vision

Vision and Appreciation

Cited.in started with a simple idea in 2018. What if you could see everything one person has said about another person or topic, and then flip it to see what the other side has said in return.

Over time that idea grew into a quote library that helps you explore how public voices talk about people, ideas, and themes that shape our world. It is still a work in progress, and that is part of the fun. The site will keep evolving, but the heart of it will always be the same. Words matter, and they help us understand each other.

This page is a small thank you note to everyone who makes Cited.in possible.

To the voices behind the quotes

Thank you to the people who said these words.

Your ideas, jokes, critiques, and reflections are the reason this site exists. Words have real power. They shape culture, move people to action, and build the foundation for human connection.

Cited.in is a way to honor and organize those words, not to claim any affiliation with the people who said them.

To Wikimedia and open knowledge

Thank you to Wikimedia and the contributors who help provide images and biographical information for many of the people featured here.

We do our best to use appropriate images and follow the spirit of open knowledge and proper credit. If you notice anything that needs a correction, update, or removal, please let us know and we will be happy to fix it.

Open, shared knowledge is a big part of what makes a project like Cited.in possible.

To the builders and teachers

Thank you to the Laravel framework and the incredible community that creates packages, tools, and documentation that make this site possible.

A special thank you to Laracasts for being such a clear and welcoming way to learn Laravel, and to the Tailwind CSS team for building a tool that makes designing clean, flexible interfaces feel enjoyable.

Cited.in stands on the shoulders of many generous developers, teachers, and open source projects.

To you, the reader

Finally, thank you to you, the person visiting this site.

I hope these quotes make you think, smile, question, or feel understood. I hope they help you see how connected our words really are, and maybe even inspire you to choose your own words with a little more care.

Thanks for spending a little time here.
