As anyone that has ever gone the lazy route to an effective essay opener knows, there are an insane amount of Quotation search engines and websites on the internet. Impregnated by banal words of wisdom from greats such as Albert Einstein, Mark Twain, and Winston Churchill, a quick scan though one of these sites tends to cause a general sick feeling in one’s stomach peppered with a belief in the power of the inspired soul/ the richness of the human experience. It’s a pleasantly indulgent and shameful experience. We here at Spit Take want to be your QuoteGarden.com. We want to make you a bit queasy and joyful at the same time. Make you giggle over our rapidly changing existence as a world culture and species, but also maybe frighten those of you that are ready to admit that as a people, we might be a little bit out of our league on … well, you know, everything. If we can’t do that for you, please pass this small zine to someone who might enjoy it.  As George Orwell said, “Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket.”
