_Unearthing mankind's best quotes, one epigraph at a time_

This webapp is being developed by me, [Fred Rocha](https://fredrocha.net/), in public. You can tag along

for the adventure [here](https://fredrocha.net/2024/08/07/building-a-crud-application-using-ruby-on-rails-in-2024/).

Some novelists choose to open their books with a quote from another writer. This is called an [epigraph](). These quotes

taken out of their original context are given a new life, necessarily detached from the former one. Since writers are

the utmost specialists in their fields, and since the beginning of a work has such relevance to the whole, I risk saying

that these selected quotes will necessarily be the crème de la crème of the world’s literature. Change my mind.

This website / webapp will be a repository for those epigraphs. Send your own favorites.

Thanks to [Giacomo Miceli](https://jamez.it) for reminding me this was a worthwhile pursuit, Madalena Marques for the constant inspiration and out-of-the-box thinking, and Christina Casnellie for the work residency in London, with the best food in town and a steady stream of priceless epigraphs.

Book covers are being fetched from [Literal.club](https://iteral.club)'s API. Thank you, guys!
