Ah... The Allure of Quotation!

Sometimes a scribbled side glance notation
can give gentle rise to a heartbeat flirtation
experience distilled to essence of truth
understood without doubt or grey hesitation.

Sometimes a phrase of exacting summation
quotation can tempt secret wonder sensation
pure thought provoked to disturb staid belief
paves way for authentic idea creation.

Read in its totality, a compilation of quotations or sayings embodies the spirit of the collective perspective.
