Quotes from famous people

baumalp · July 13, 2022

I use zotero not only for science, but also for political texts, essays and others. I often use individual quotes from famous people. It would be nice to be able to manage these in zotero with appropriate fields for the person: Born on, Born in, Died on, Died in, Profession, Occasion. Do you also have this need? Do you have a workaround?

Personally, I would organize such quotes by their source, such as the book where the essay or text was published. You can store the quote and details about it in a Note attached to the item.

If you do want to store them as a “person”, Interview would be a good workaround

Thanks for the tips. You can do some things as a workaround. What I am still missing is information about the people. Wouldn't that be of interest for other sources? Nationality, profession, birthday, date of death, awards given ...
