QOTD by month

From Wikiquote

This page contains links to pages for "Quotes of the Day" and associated images by month, as they were displayed on the Main Page.

For a period of several months there were also associated sound files made for many of them, but that experiment was abandoned.

Since June 2005, "Quote of the day" proposals have been made at pages for each month which have sections for each date, and final selections usually reflect the result of rankings made there.

Any registered user is invited to make proposals, or to rank each candidate on these pages:

January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December

Images began to be used in association with QOTDs on 27 January 2008:

"In that direction," the Cat said, waving its right paw round, "lives a Hatter: and in that direction," waving the other paw, "lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad."
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

~ Lewis Carroll in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland ~

[edit] Abandoned experiment in creating sound files

The first sound file created for a QOTD was on 1 November 2007:

You cannot choose your battlefield,
God does that for you;
But you can plant a standard
Where a standard never flew.

~ Nathalia Crane ~

The first sound file actually used on the main page was for 3 November 2007:

Man's right to know, to learn, to inquire, to make bona fide errors, to investigate human emotions must, by all means, be safe, if the word FREEDOM should ever be more than an empty political slogan. ~ Wilhelm Reich

The last sound file created for use with a QOTD was created and used on 17 June 2008:

Our security strategies have not yet caught up with the risks we are facing. The globalization that has swept away the barriers to the movement of goods, ideas and people has also swept with it barriers that confined and localized security threats. ~ Mohamed ElBaradei
