FAQs
**Q: Can I search for quotes from a specific author?** A: The Random Quote Generator produces truly random quotes within your selected category, which is intentional to help you discover new perspectives. For searching specific authors, you'll want to use dedicated quote search engines. This tool excels at serendipitous discovery and inspiration rather than targeted searches.
**Q: What happens to my favorites if I close the page?** A: Your favorites are stored in your current session only. If you close or refresh the page, they will reset. We recommend copying your favorite quotes to a document or note-taking app to preserve them permanently between sessions.
**Q: How often are new quotes added to the generator?** A: The quote database includes a carefully curated selection of classic and contemporary quotes. Check back regularly for updates, though the primary value comes from discovering quotes you may not have encountered before rather than novelty.
**Q: Can I suggest quotes to be added to the generator?** A: The quote selection process is carefully maintained by our content team. While we appreciate the interest, suggestions should be directed to our contact page or community channels rather than direct submissions.
**Q: Are quotes always attributed to the correct authors?** A: We make significant effort to ensure accurate attribution. However, quote misattribution is common on the internet.

Always verify permissions for commercial publications, products, or large-scale distribution before using any quote.
