> I enjoy reading quotes.

As someone who is not into reading and quotes I’d like to ask what you find fascinating about it. Can you maybe give an example what kind of quotes you find interesting? Dialogs, aphorisms? Is more about entertainment or worldly wisdom? Or is it more an intellectual fascination, for example thinking through how the author came up with it and considering different interaction possibilities of the actors?

I enjoy reading quotes.

I like that I get insight into a (sometimes) brilliant mind and I can do so in a few seconds by reading a few lines.

Some are inspiring, some make me smarter, some are worthless.

Unlike OP, I think that tv series' quotes are likely to be much less worthwhile, for me, than those I'm used to.
