Social / Political Justice

"Yes, it is true that if the Negro accepts his place, accepts exploitation and injustice, there will be peace. But it would be a peace boiled down to stagnant complacency, deadening passivity, and if peace means this, I don’t want peace." – Martin Luther King Jr, 1956, "When Peace Becomes Obnoxious"

r/quotes Rules

1

Full Quote & Author in Title

Your post title must contain the complete quote and the author’s name (or source).
If the quote exceeds 300 characters (the title limit), post the full quote in the comments.

2

Source Attribution

No social‑media, URL‑shortener, or AI‑chat links—only direct, credible primary sources (e.g. book pages, official transcripts, scholarly archives).
Reply to the bot’s comment with a link to your source.
Posts without a source link are auto-removed 15-minutes after posting and are considered spam, which may lead to ban.

3

No Religious Quotes

Quotes from scriptures, sermons, prayers, or content promoting/denigrating any faith are not allowed.
Sectarian or devotional language is off-topic.

4

Social & Political Justice Quotes (Allowed, With Limits)

Political and social‑justice quotes are welcome.
They must not be divisive, inflammatory, or offensive (no hate speech, slurs, personal attacks, or calls for harm).
No campaign ads, vote‑soliciting, or brigading.

5

No Spam or Self-Promotion

Advertising, affiliate links, or repeated reposts of the same content are disallowed.
AI-generated or bot-spam content will be removed and accounts banned.
Do not submit quotes you created yourself—this is treated as spam and incurs a permanent ban.

6

No Low-Effort Posts

Link-only posts without context are not allowed.
Aim for genuine value: a well-known quote with fresh context, commentary, or discussion.

7

“Quote Help” posts are allowed

The post must:

Include 'Quote Help' (no quotes) in the title.
Use the ‘Quote Help’ flair.
Example: "Quote Help: Looking for quotes about climate change"

Any post asking for help finding or sourcing a quote that meets both conditions is permitted.

8

No Hate, Harassment, or Incitement

Racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise bigoted content will be removed.
Personal attacks and trolling are prohibited.

9

Duplicate Content

Search before you post. Duplicate quotes posted within 30-days will be removed.

10

Language & Quality

Posts must be in clear, grammatically correct English.
ALL-CAPS or non-standard text will be removed.

11

Follow Reddit’s Sitewide Rules

All users must comply with Reddit’s Content Policy. Violations may result in a ban and/or reports to Reddit Admins.

12

Moderator Discretion Applies

All posts are subject to moderator review. Approval is not guaranteed.
Moderators may remove content or users that violate the spirit of these rules, even if not explicitly listed. Bad-faith behavior or trolling may result in a ban.

Share your favorite quotes.

From books, films, songs, games, TV—current or historic—or just a gem of wisdom that stuck with you.

Quick guidelines:

Put the full quote and the author/source in the title.
Please don't quote yourself.
Lists of quotes are allowed as comments.
Need a source? Try Wikiquote
Not sure it’s real? Check Quote Investigator
No religious posts, please!
Have fun!
