Let Wisdom, Humor and Poor Judgment fuel your creativity with the You Can Quote Me journal. 

Sometimes a reminder of a moment in history, a song lyric or a joke can be the spark to get your writing muscles activated. The You Can Quote Me journal offers a perfect blend of wisdom, humor, and historical miscalculations, all serving as prompts for your thoughts.

Whether you're a seasoned journal writer, or are someone who could use a jolt to get started, make this journal your companion for reflection, creativity, and an occasional dose of laughter.

What's Inside: Each writing prompt is either timeless wisdom from great thinkers, a skewed take on life from stand-up comedians, or predictions by smart people whose judgment proved to be faulty.

Example Prompts: “I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better.” — Abraham Lincoln

"I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific." — Lily Tomlin

“Cinema is little more than a fad.” — Charlie Chaplin, 1916
