I'd probably have a folder called "humans-brain", and within that a file called "quotes". I care more what the information is about, and less what the meta-data about the data is (what type of info it is). Why? Because I more often want to find information about a topic than I do to find information of a particular type.

This is exactly what I'd do as well. But let's think in a more broader terms. For example in my house we organize good by type. Fruits go in one place, meat in another, milk and milk products in third etc. But, isn't a context-oriented organization more reasonable? Food for breakfast goes in one place, food for dinner in another etc.?
Food is real and has physical appearance.. digital object they are virtual. So, you need to develop virtual organisation.. unfortunately don't know how ;)
C'mon now.

You've never had a bowl of breakfast cereal at 10PM?

<grin>
