About Us

Pretty Phrases is an independent website about quotes and short phrases: words that help you start the day, say something to a friend, or understand a person a little better. We publish collections of quotes by writers, thinkers, leaders, athletes and artists, together with a short biography that explains who they were and why their words still matter.

How we work

  • Sources first. We try to publish only quotes that can be traced to a book, a speech, an interview or a letter. When a famous line is usually credited to the wrong person, we say so.
  • No song lyrics. Song lyrics belong to their authors and publishers. On our music pages we tell the story of the band or the singer and offer original lines written by us, clearly marked as such.
  • Our own images. The quote cards you see on the site are designed by us. You are welcome to share them with a link back to the page.
  • Corrections. If you find a mistake, a wrong attribution or a missing source, please tell us and we will review it.

Who is behind the site

Pretty Phrases is run by Juan José Blanco Bejarano from Madrid, Spain, under the name Jujo Creative Studio. The site is free to read and is supported by advertising. Advertising never decides what we write about.
